Friends and family of the late Caroline Flack joined together at a special event on Monday in memory of the TV presenter. A host of famous faces such as Keith Lemon, Louise Redknapp and Ashley Roberts attended the Flackstock Festival to pay tribute to their friend and raise awareness of mental health.
Created by a committee of Caroline's loved ones and supported by some of the entertainment industry's biggest names, the music, comedy and dance festival raised cash for four mental heath charities.
The one day festival took place on July 25 at Englefield House in Berkshire with a line-up of performances from X-Factor singer Fleur East, comedians Joel Dommett and Keith Lemon, singer Natalie Imbruglia, Louise Redknapp and Pussycat Dolls' Ashley Roberts.

Speaking ahead of the festival, Caroline’s mum Christine said: "My Caroline was never more herself or happier than at a music festival with her sister and her friends. Flackstock is the wonderful idea of those who knew her best and the perfect way to remember her singing, dancing and most of all laughing.
"Not only is Flackstock the most positive way to honour Carrie, but charities that she loved will benefit from the proceeds. A big thank you to everyone involved for all their hard work – to Natalie for the mad idea, Giles Cooper Entertainment and Englefield House who saved the day, Live Nation and to all the brilliant sponsors.
"My family are so proud that so many people who knew Carrie loved her so very much."
Caroline Flack was a TV and radio presenter best known for her roles in hosting ITV's Love Island and the X-Factor spin off The Extra Factor. She also won the twelfth series of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
In 2020 Caroline was found dead at her home in London aged 40 with an inquest later concluding her death as suicide.
Amongst the stars supporting their late friend was Celebrity Juice star Keith Lemon, aka Leigh Francis, who shared a touching tribute to the former presenter with a performance from the festival.
Sharing a series of photos alongside her friend Caroline, singer-songwriter Louise Redknapp, who also attended the festival, penned: " Today is all for you my girl. See you later @flackstock let’s do our girl proud! Xxx"
Pussycat Doll's Ashley Roberts was also in attendance at the festival and performed in honour of her friend. Following the event she shared some snaps from the memorable day with her followers.
