A Leeds festival-goer was seen wearing his tent like a rain coat during strong winds from Storm Lilian.

Two stages have been shut at the festival on Friday 23 August as a result of the weather.

Posting on X, Reading and Leeds Festival organisers said they could see an “end in sight” to the winds and would open “as soon as possible”.

They had previously advised campers to “stay in their tents” amid 60mph gusts.

Lilian brought strong winds to northern parts of England and Wales on Friday.
