Leeds Fest 2017: Top 10 moments

Saturday night headliners Kasabians lead singer Tom Meighan who emerged from his sick bed to play Leeds Festival.

The biggest crowds for years lapped up the sunshine and live music at Bramham Park at this year's Leeds Festival, staged last weekend.

For once, the August bank holiday weekend proved a bit of a scorcher attracting a strong attendance.

After a stormy shower in the hours leading to the festival’s launch, the main days of one of the UK’s biggest music events were mostly bright, hot and sunny.

Security had clearly been increased this year in light of a summer of terrorist attacks but it did not stop the fun and the Saturday seemed to have its biggest turnout for several years.

Impressive - Harrogates Scott Quinn playing the BBC stage on Saturday.

As well as the diehard music fans, there were the usual thousands of teenagers celebrating their GCSE results, turning Leeds Festival into a giant fancy dress party at times with music as the backdrop.
