POP star Pixie Lott and chef Aldo Zilli were among the many celebrities who flew in by helicopter today for the Duke of Essex Polo match in Epping.

The annual event, which features music and shows along with the game, has drawn hundreds of people to the site at Gaynes Park.

Earlier this afternoon Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity took to the stage and wowed the crowds with their impressive dance routines.

There was also a fly-over by a Second World War-era Lancaster Bomber.

The festivities are expected to go on long into the night with live music performances and a giant Chinese lantern display scheduled to take place at 11.30pm.
