Organisers of a festival set up in memory of tragic teenager Liberty Baker say they are blown away at its success and the support of the town.

Now in its second year, LibFest raised a stunning £25,000 when it was held last month, more than double the total of the previous event.

The music festival is held to raise money for charity and to remember the 14-year-old who was killed in a car crash in 2014.

One of the organisers, Mike Dove, spoke of his shock at the grand total saying: "It's an outstanding achievement in the community, and wouldn't be possible without the people of Witney. The support we had was unbelievable

"We did say we wanted to double our £12,000 raised last year and we've done it.

"We've still got a lot of counting to do, there's all the charity tins around town with all the 20ps and 2ps in.

"This is really amazing."

Dressed in rain ponchos, Liberty's parents Paul and Maureen Baker braved the rain and hail to celebrate their daughter's life at LibFest.

Mum Maureen said her music-loving daughter "would not have believed it" if she was here to see the event today.

Dad Paul Baker said: "The festival has really grown this year.

"Liberty loved music. She would always go to Witney Music Festival. She would not believe this if she saw it."

The teenager died when a car mounted the pavement and hit her while she was walking to school.

The driver, Robert Blackwell, was later jailed for four years for causing death by dangerous driving.

A year after her death, more than 4,000 people attended the first LibFest in Witney. But this time saw a staggering 5,000 people attend, despite worries the constant rain and hail would put potential festival-goers off.

As well as live bands, there was also a silent disco, food stalls, face painting, a cream tea tent, children's entertainment and much more.

The £25,000 raised will be split equally between charities Grief Support for Children and Young People in Oxfordshire, Children's Hospice Arts and Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

Mr Dove added: "“It’s completely mind-blowing.

"It's been exhausting but a good few weeks.

"There have already been a few ideas thrown around for LibFest 2017. But of course we haven't quite finished this one yet."

And LibFest fans still have something to look forward to, as a special documentary on the festival will be broadcast in Witney's Cineworld on Tuesday at 6pm.

A local film crew has been following round the festival team for eight months, and will display their work at the screening.
