Bootle Music Festival was cancelled and crowds were evacuated after a "biblical" storm swept across the region.
The festival was due to return to the Lock and Quay pub on Irlam Road in Bootle for day two on Saturday evening, with bands including The Zutons and The Farm. However, organisers were forced to evacuate the festival after being hit by "adverse weather" conditions.
Merseyside was battered by thunderstorms on Saturday as the sunshine was quickly replaced with torrential rain.
