A man found dead in his tent at a music festival has been named.

Gary Neale, 49, was found dead at the Small World Summer Gathering festival in Headcorn on Thursday, August 26.

A post mortem was carried out last week and an inquest into his death was opened and adjourned on Friday (September 3).

Police are not treating Mr Neale’s death as suspicious.

Mr Neale, who lived alone in Soleshill Road, near Chilham, Canterbury, was a landscaper and designer for Lee Evans Partnership Architects.

Neighbour Alida Colthop of Shottenden Lane, said: "He was a very well liked man, who lived in the village for about nine years."

The five-day festival is an annual environmentally friendly event with craft and healing workshops.
