Oasis huge Scots shows will see major ban enforced over safety fears
A source said it is 'definitely the right move' STOP FLYING YOUR HEART OUT STOP FLYING YOUR HEART OUT Oasis huge Scots shows will see major ban enforced over safety fears Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NO-fly zone will be in place over Oasis's massive Scots shows. Aviation watchdogs have banned drones over the stadium amid worries fans could be injured if a device falls from the sky. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Oasis Live 25 will be coming to Edinburgh this week Credit: PA 4 A no-fly zone has been set up over Murrayfield during the concerts Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 4 The drone ban zone was brought in to protect gig-goers Credit: Getty Anyone caught using the gadgets faces fines amid a huge security operation at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. Similar curbs were brought in for the Stop Crying Your Heart Out rockers' comeback performances in Manchester and Cardiff last month. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to take to the stage at the home of Scottish rugby on Friday, Saturday and next Tuesday. And a source said: 'Banning drones above the gigs is the right move. "All it takes is something to go wrong or someone who doesn't know how to properly fly a drone to make a mistake. "If one falls into the crowd people could end up badly hurt.' A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said the ban was 'in the public interest'. Up to 210,000 fans overall are expected to flock to the sold-out mega-gigs. They face strict rules with metal water bottles, hip flasks, large bags and umbrellas among banned items. And any louts found with knives, drugs and pyros will be reported to cops. Hundreds of Oasis fans queue down Scots street to bag gig merch as buzz begins ahead of Edinburgh shows A Scottish Rugby spokesman said security was 'of the upmost importance' at the gigs. The concerts coincide with the capital's world-famous Fringe arts bash of more than 3,800 shows. Police said a 'proportionate and considered plan' is in place' to keep visitors safe. A force spokesman added: 'We are working to ensure the safety of those attending events and minimise disruption.'

Zara McDermott locks lips with boyfriend Louis Tomlinson as the pair pack on the PDA and officially 'hard launch' their relationship on social media
officially 'hard launched' her relationship with Louis Tomlinson as the pair packed on the PDA in her latest Instagram snap on Monday night. The former Love Island star hit headlines when she was linked to One Direction superstar Louis earlier this year when they were spotted enjoying a secret date. And now Zara seemed to prove things are certainly serious as she sent fans wild with a snap of them locking lips for a very cheeky selfie. She captioned the post with a simple red love heart emoji. Zara and Louis went Instagram official in June, five months after they began dating as they enjoyed the weekend at Glastonbury with their pals. The couple were spotted packing on the PDA in a TikTok video at the festival as Louis wrapped his arms around Zara who flopped her head back onto his shoulder, while enjoying the music. However whilst they had been seen together out and about, there had been no public displays of affection, until now. Fans went wild after seeing post as they penned: 'LOVE YOU GUYS'; 'Favourite couple'; 'Love seeing you glowing and happy' 'This is the cutest post ever';' LOVE YOU GUYS'; 'OMFG THE HARD LAUNCH'. Meanwhile soap star and Zara's Strictly pal Ellie Leach penned: 'soooooo here for this'. The pair's relationship hasn't come without its challenges after Louis and Zara's ex Sam Thompson came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid in June. A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara later admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'.

In Pictures: UK and Ireland facing the wrath of Storm Floris
Spectators at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival had to brave inclement conditions to watch artists perform on the Royal Mile. The promenade at Blackpool was largely deserted as the wind and rain persuaded people to stay indoors while in Birmingham brollies were out in force, although one man opened his arms and embraced the rain. With train services affected in Edinburgh, there were other issues for visitors to the Scottish capital, with some turned away from Edinburgh Castle. The conditions also made it difficult for those at the Fringe, both performers and spectators.
