The Cookham Festival ended with a bang with a day long event on Cookham Moor with craft activities, food stalls and music. Although it looked a little damp for a while, the crowds spirits weren't dampened. Rolf Harris was there and even sang a song on stage, Sun Arise Bring in de Mornin' along with the main attraction, Nick Heyward. Also Timmy Mallett and Chris Barrie were there amongst the crowd. A good time was had by all both young and old and plans are afoot for the next one.
