HUNDREDS of worshippers have gathered in Broad Street for today’s Love Oxford event.

Families have turned out for the annual Christian festival which brings together church congregations from across the city.

Organisers have been working since the early hours to prepare for the grand open air service despite waking to showers and cloudy skies.

Event manager Lydia Smith said: "It's exciting. It feels like a lot of people have been involved with pulling it off. It's fantastic not to be in the rain."
