ISLE of Wight Festival-goers who forgot to take clean underpants were able to get a fresh pair on site — in return for getting screened for chlamydia by NHS staff.

Along with St John Ambulance volunteers, they were on hand all weekend to deal with everything from sunburn to drug overdoses, and offer advice on staying safe.

More than 1,000 festival-goers received medical treatment.
