Festival tents and portaloos blown over as Storm Lilian batters Britain
Festival tents have been blown away and portaloos knocked over as Storm Lilian battered Britain with huge gusts of wind today (Fri).
Leeds Festival organisers shut two stages this afternoon, axing performances amid safety fears.
And ticket-holders yet to arrive on the second day of the festival were told to stay away until the wind calms down.
Pictures from the site at Bramham Park - on the outskirts of the West Yorkshire city - show the havoc caused by the 60mph winds.
One festivalgoer, an 18-year-old woman attending for the first time, said she'd been left gutted by performances being cancelled.
