More than 85,000 people are expected at Weston Park over the weekend to see headliners Kasabian and Kings of Leon.

Thousands arrived at the stately home yesterday with traffic queues stretching back more than eight miles on the M54 last night.

He said: “These included overindulgence in food and drink.”

Staffordshire Police today said 19 people had been arrested for offences including theft, assault and drunken behaviour. A further 53 people have been cautioned for drug possession and 10 crimes have been reported which mainly involve thefts from tents.
