Legendary Jamaican new wave queen, Grace Jones delighted fans on the final day at this year's Bluedot festival.

The iconic star, famous for her hits like 'Slave to the rhythm' and ' La Vie en rose' was the headlining act on Sunday at Jodrell Bank.

Heavy rainfall forced Bluedot organisers to cancel day tickets on the final day, as told here but the show went ahead for those already at the four-day event.

The festival opened last Thursday with UK composer Max Richter while Irish electropopper, Róisín Murphy, delighted the audience on Friday.

Muddy conditions proved difficult for festival goers, some of whom had to be towed away from the famous UNESCO World Heritage site with its collection of radio telescopes.
