I'm delighted to report the heavens have opened at Reading Festival and it's tipping down. Just what I wanted. Fed up wearing these wellies with nothing but sun to bake them!

It's been quite a good day - we've overcome our technical problems and it's fantastic to see our pics online at the BBC's Reading/Leeds site moments after we take them. Not many photographers here will have a bespoke website built around their output! We have Lucy at BBC Music Interactive to thank, she's putting in a Herculean effort with her team back in London.

Remember, all the stuff is here. Some of the photos are amazing, especially the ones from Chris, our Main Stage photographer, who's putting in a massive effort. He's just gone out in the rain to Dizzee Rascal on the Radio 1 Stage because my camera's died. Hero!

Oh, and I'm also keeping a festival blog via SMS on the site, along with a couple of other BBC journos. Click here to read it. It gets sporadically updated when I and the London folks have time...
