Revellers have been basking in the sunshine and sounds as the summer heatwave reaches fever pitch. Scotland's biggest ever music festival has coincided with soaring temperatures at Glasgow Green and across most of Scotland.
The wall-to-wall sunshine has seen some music fans struggling to cope in the heat but they turned out in their thousands to give a raft of top acts including headliners Fontaines D.C, The Kooks and Inhaler all ready to receive the warmest of welcomes.
Sophie MacGrain, 22, from Falkirk, media journalism graduate, said: 'We've been loads of times. I've been coming since I was 16, so quite a few years on the trot. I'm looking forward to seeing Inhaler. Tomorrow, I'll be looking to see Gracie Abrams. It's so hot. The water stations have helped a lot and we are trying to stay in the shade as much as possible. It makes it when it is a nice sunny day.'
Saturday's main stage will come to a close with headliners Biffy Clyro before a full package of music entertainment brings the festival to a close.

I created my own luxury wallpaper in one afternoon for just £3, you need virtually no equipment & it works in any room
FORGET having to splash out on expensive wallpaper to transform your home, one woman shared how she gave a room in her house a makeover for just £3. Baylee shared how she bought a floral rubber art stamp from a crafts shop and then added paint to make the pretty print. 4 Although the US-based homeowner got her wooden stamp from Hobby Lobby, you can pick up similar style ones from The Range. On her @bayleewhiteasheck account, she showed how she used a piece of cardboard to ensure the prints were spaced apart evenly. Two hours of stamping later, and her laundry room had gone from plain white to being covered in the gorgeous floral print. Baylee said: 'You know what? It worked out for me.' And she wasn't done yet. She added that she then added a hanging basket to the wall, along with some artwork a friend had made her. Showing off the finished result, she added: 'And that's my perfect, precious, gorgeous, beautiful cottage laundry room makeover for three dollars and fifty cents. 'Feeling absolutely unstoppable after finishing this project in two hours after putting my baby down. 'Maybe I'll like doing laundry now.' Many people will be hugely impressed with the DIY tip, which has racked up over 50,000 likes. I live in a council house with no storage & made a dream dressing table for £21… it's great for those with limited space One person commented: 'A tutorial I could actually follow and afford?!' Another added: 'I fear I must go do this now.' And a third wrote: 'I'm flabbergasted by how smart and easy this is.' DIY FAIL 4 4 However, DIY doesn't always go according to plan, as one woman showed. TikTok user @lifeatthelma showed how she had picked out a gorgeous sage green paint and had then taped a decorative stencil to the wall. She thought everything had gone swimmingly, until she peeled back the stencil to reveal her hard work. To her horror, the paint had spread until the stencil and it looked messy and not like the design she had wanted. After she pulled off a larger section, she joked: 'But do we think it is giving cottage core (the goal) or chain link fence?'

Bafta-nominated actor Micheal Ward charged with rape and sexual assault
The 27-year-old, who has starred in Blue Story and Top Boy, said 'I deny the charges against me entirely' and said he had co-operated with police fully throughout their investigation. Ward is accused of offences against one woman in January 2023, the Metropolitan Police said. The force said he is charged with two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Ward, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, will appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on August 28, the Crown Prosecution Service said. In a statement issued after the charges were announced, Ward said: 'I deny the charges against me entirely. 'I have co-operated fully with the police throughout their investigation and will continue to co-operate. 'I recognise that proceedings are now ongoing, and I have full faith that they will lead to my name being cleared. 'Given those proceedings, I am unable to comment further.' Following the charges, Detective Superintendent Scott Ware said: 'Our specialist officers continue to support the woman who has come forward – we know investigations of this nature can have significant impact on those who make reports.' The Jamaican-born actor was awarded the Bafta Rising Star honour in 2020 and was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Bafta for his role in BBC's Small Axe in 2021 and the 2022 film Empire Of Light. Ward, who has 1.2 million followers on Instagram, played in the Soccer Aid match at Stamford Bridge last year and gave a reading at the Christmas Eve carol service hosted by the Princess of Wales in 2023. He is due to star in the American film Eddington alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, which is due to be released in the UK next month.
