Diana Ross turns Henley Festival upside down
The Motown icon Diana Ross looked incredible as she graced the stage in an amazing floor length white dress and cape along with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to kick off this year’s Henley Festival.
Diana Ross commanded the stage and delighted the black-tie crowd with a set that included many of her hits Stop! In the Name of Love, Chain reaction, I’m Coming Out, Upside Down and more.
The lawns shimmered with sequined dresses in the summer sunshine, restaurants heaved with festival diners and bars spilled out across the festival with everyone drinking in the atmosphere.
There is so much incredible art to view and enjoy in the galleries as well as stellar visual art adorning the riverside and of course not forgetting the wonderful roving entertainment.
Moored up festooned and beautifully decorated boats popped corks and dined on picnics, whilst others crammed in to get a space on the booms or cruised slowly up and down the course. It’s amazing how slow some boats can go when by the floating stage!
Ivo Graham had festivalgoers in fits of laughter, who were then dazzled with music from The Kondoors, Megan McConnell, Dominos with Ellie Sax in the festival club and not forgetting Henley Festival’s trademark firework spectacular.
Tickets are still available for all the remaining evenings featuring McFly tonight Thursday, Rick Astley on Friday, Hacienda Classical on Saturday and Matteo Bocelli & Jamie Cullum on Sunday. Also on Sunday 13th July during the day it’s the family friendly Playdate from 10am – 1.30pm
