Status Quo will perform at Rochester Castle Concerts tonight - and it's already proved a hit with tickets selling out within hours of going on sale.

Jools Holland was there last night for his annual shin-dig. Thousands of people had fun in the evening sun on Wednesday for the Soul Party extravaganza.

The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra round off this year's series on Saturday bringing a taste of the Proms to Rochester's Historic Quarter.
