A groom-to-be has come up with great way to celebrate his big day - by joining 80,000 festival-goers at this year's Parklife Festival at Heaton Park.
Sam, 32, from Leigh-on-Sea is getting married back home in August and travelled up to Manchester yesterday to celebrate the occasion. He made the journey by train from London Euston with 14 of his closest friends accompanying him.
His wife-to-be is currently back home, but will be celebrating her hen party next weekend - though he couldn't quite remember where she'll be celebrating the occasion.
