Audio slideshow: Remembering Woodstock


In August 1969, an estimated 400,000 young people converged on a dairy farm in upstate New York for a music festival that would leave a legacy that endures today.

Rainstorms failed to dampen the spirits of the revellers, whose good behaviour over the four days inspired Joni Mitchell to write her classic song Woodstock.

With the help of some of those who were there, take a nostalgic look back at the festival.
