Jeremy Corbyn enjoyed a coffee in Dorchester yesterday ahead of his appearance at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival this afternoon.
The Labour leadership row has plunged the party into crisis in recent weeks - but Jeremy Corbyn has stood strong in these turbulent political times.
His speech on the main day of the three-day festival in Tolpuddle, which celebrates the memory of the Tolpuddle Martyrs and trade unionism, is likely to be the highlight of the event, which runs from July 15-17.
Events kicked off on Friday evening with bands, speeches and cinema.
Saturday saw more music and discussion, plus stalls and poetry, with performances from The Skimmity Hitchers, and the Tom Robinson Band.
Today is the main day with a procession through the village, wreath laying at the grave of James Hammett plus mor emusic and speeches.
As well as Mr Corbyn, new Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees and TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady will speak.
Music includes Ferocious Dog and Dreadzone.
