Hundreds of tents left behind after Leeds Festival
Hundreds of tents have been left behind by campers attending Leeds Festival over the bank holiday weekend.
Video shared on social media showed tents, airbeds and other items scattered across the Bramham Park site.
Leeds City Council approved a number of applications from charities who planned to remove unwanted equipment, but refused permission for salvagers with a "stated aim" of giving tents to rough sleepers.
The council said it wanted to "support people into accommodation" rather than helping them to continue sleeping on the streets.
Around 90,000 people were estimated to have attended the festival, which marked its 25th year.
But Storm Lilian struck and forced organisers to close stages due to health and safety risks as a result of strong winds.
