Music festivals across the UK have been thrown into chaos today after Storm Lilian brought 80mph winds to the UK which resulted in cancelled flights and tens of thousands of homes losing power.

Leeds Festival organisers announced two stages won’t be hosting performances today because of severe weather while Creamfields festival in Cheshire will open its gates later than expected.

It comes as British Airways cancelled 14 flights from Heathrow earlier on Friday, while more than 60,000 people were left with disrupted power supplies across northern England.
