Thousands of fans flocked to London's Kaleidoscope Festival on Saturday, with restrictions on gatherings now completely lifted in England. Kaleidoscope is one of the largest live events to take place in England since the country lifted its last coronavirus restrictions on 19 July. "It's really nice to just see everybody out and drinking and just enjoying themselves," Leonie Louis, a festival attendee, told AFP. "The music has completely lifted my spirits," said the reveller, who came from Bedford, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of London, for the day. He spent a year-and-a-half in lockdown watching many concerts online, but said that nothing could replicate the atmosphere of live music.
