'I still can't believe that I was at Live Aid'
BBCForty years since Live Aid, the people who were in the crowd for the star-studded charity event remember it well.
Two women from Gloucestershire were among 72,000 fans watching at Wembley Stadium in London and recall their experiences ahead of the anniversary of the historic concert on Sunday.
"It just was the most amazing day. I realise now looking back just how lucky I was to be there," said Jane Barclay-Trott, who got a chance to go when her then boyfriend got tickets for herself and her twin sister.
She remembers taking a picnic basket and getting into the stadium a couple of hours before it started. They were in the middle of the pitch, with the Royal box in front of them, watching as the then Prince and Princess of Wales came in.
Jane said they were not allowed to take cameras so she has "no memory visually of it" but she does remember the huge cheers as Status Quo were the first to take to the stage.
However, she said it was Queen that "stole the show".
"I remember him [Freddie Mercury] coming out and he just played the start on the piano of Bohemian Rhapsody and that started it all off. He was just such a showman. Absolutely amazing."
Jane remembers tens of thousands of people all clapping in time to the music and she said the performance made her a lifelong Queen fan.
One of her other favourites was David Bowie, he paused his performance for a film which highlighted the reason for the event - raising funds for Ethiopian famine relief.
"Suddenly this video came up. It was so poignant. You couldn't hear a pin drop, everyone went silent. It made you realise why you were there," Jane explained.
Her boyfriend videotaped the TV broadcast of the concert so they could watch it back, she has never met anyone else who was in the crowd.
"I still have to pinch myself, when I'm watching the footage, that I was there," she said.
Chris Fowler has kept some of the memorabilia from the concert on 13 July 1985, she said she remembers the ticket price (£5 with a £20 donation), paying by cheque, and buying her hero Bob Geldof's book.
"I think it was just to be part of something with Bob. We were Boomtown Rats fans. He was so passionate. What was not to love?" she said.
"When we saw those news reports [of the famine in Ethiopia], it broke your heart."
Chris was also in the middle of the pitch and she remembers it was hot, but it still rained a couple of times, including when Elton John was on.
She said those right at the front got sprayed with hosepipes to cool off.
Chris describes "a real babble of things going on".
"Because of the diversity of the bands, you had so many different types of fans. Everybody was different," she said.
Like Jane, she took food into the stadium and said that everybody shared.
The concert will be broadcast again on BBC Two and be available on iplayer, where there is also a three-part documentary series.
