Oasis fans storm new fences at Heaton Park as they ignore security
Some ticketless Oasis fans didn't let the security and new fences around Manchester's Heaton Park get in their way of seeing the Gallagher brothers as they stormed the barrier. Liam and Noel Gallagher returned to their hometown for their third show in front of 80,000 fans.
Those unlucky in bagging some of the most in demand tickets in music history have managed to still catch a glimpse of the action from a nearby hill. During the shows in Manchester, fans have flocked to 'Gallagher Hill' to watch and listen to the iconic band perform.
After hundreds gathered over the weekend, it seemed police and organisers wanted to crack down as a large fence appeared blocking the view. The large green fence and added security appeared to do little during last night's show, however.
Some fans were spotted climbing over the massive fences as they ignored police warnings and attempted to get into the venue without a ticket. Others decided to stay put on Gallagher Hill despite the view being no more.
Fans scaled trees in order to get a better look at the Britpop band, while others arrived with foldout chairs and picnic blankets. Over the weekend, police cracked down on ticketless fans in the area as some tried to hop the fence in order to see the Gallagher brothers.

Greater Manchester Police reported six people had been arrested for trying to get into the shows with "fake accreditation", while others had been caught trying to force their way through a perimeter fence. Oasis are set to play another two shows at Heaton Park on 19 and 20 July.
Images taken at the scene showed one man in handcuffs as a member of Greater Manchester Police escorted him away, while another was carrying a ladder.
Another image showed a line of police officers standing outside several entrances along the perimeter to stop people attempting to gain access for free.
However, those watching from a distance on Gallagher Hill appeared to be having the time of their lives as they heard Liam and Noel reunite.

ITV Karen Pirie season two ending explained as devastating murder case solved
Karen Pirie has returned to ITV with a second season and a new case to solve After a lengthy three-year hiatus, the much-anticipated return of Karen Pirie has graced our screens with its second series on ITV. Adapted from Val McDermid's acclaimed Inspector Karen Pirie novels, the drama features Outlander star Lauren Lyle as the eponymous protagonist, portraying a bold and spirited Scottish detective "with a quick mouth and a tenacious desire for the truth". The latest series, entitled A Darker Domain, sees Pirie embroiled in yet another cold case, peeling back layers of deception to unearth the grim realities shrouded in secrecy and a tangled web of potential motives. The three-part season exposes the 1984 kidnap of a charming heiress to a vast oil fortune, Catriona Grant, and her two-year-old son Adam. They were brutally taken and held at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife, with the ransom notes leading to an uncontrollable press storm. However, as the kidnappers retreated into silence and the police investigation hit a dead end, the fate of Catriona and Adam remained shrouded in enigma, reports the Mirror. The discovery of a corpse connected to the original kidnapping, the first shred of evidence in decades, propels Pirie and her squad into what could be the defining case of their careers, all while under the watchful eye of Catriona's father. "As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear... the past is far from dead," hints the tantalising synopsis. Karen Pirie season two ending explained - what happened to Catriona Grant? In a startling revelation, it turns out that Catriona (portrayed by Julia Brown) was complicit in her own abduction. Motivated by a desire to retaliate against her father Brodie (played by James Cosmo) upon learning that he had exploited Fergus (John Michie) - Adam's covert biological father - to conceal the fatalities caused by his oil operations, Cat and her boyfriend Mick (Mark Rowley) orchestrated a faux kidnapping. Her plan was to abscond with her father's wealth and start afresh with Adam, but this scheme was thrown into chaos when Mick's mates Andy and Kevin got entangled in their plot. Mick, sceptical of Kevin, aimed to keep Cat's involvement in the kidnapping under wraps, leading to a heated debate about whether they should disclose the truth to Kevin. When Kevin eavesdropped on their dispute, he threatened to expose the truth to Brodie, prompting Cat to shoot him in the head, resulting in his death. His body was discovered years later, triggering the commencement of the investigation. However, his remains weren't the only ones unearthed. Pirie's team stumbled upon Cat's body in a cave, with viewers soon discovering that her mother, Brodie's former wife Mary (Frances Tomelty), was responsible for her death following an emotional confession. Fergus and Brodie had uncovered Cat's role in orchestrating the entire kidnapping, and arranged a meeting with Mick, Andy and Cat to hand over the money. Unbeknownst to them, Mary had trailed them armed with a gun, intending to frighten off the actual kidnappers, oblivious to the fact that her daughter had been aware of the whole situation all along. Upon reaching the cave, she fired two shots, accidentally killing Cat and triggering a collapse that left her trapped inside. Mick, Andy, and Adam managed to get away, while Brodie and Mary concealed the truth for years, clinging to the hope that Cat had somehow survived. They weren't the only ones to discover the truth however, as Adam, re-named Gabriel after Mick raised him in Italy, learned who he really was and about his biological father and mother. The case ends with the arrests of Mary and Brodie, and Adam meeting his biological father Fergus, who is also on trial, but choosing to continue living his life with Mick in Malta, as he couldn't be reached by the Scottish authorities there. "There's no joy in closing a case like this, no joy, no celebration," Karen reflects as the series draws to a close. "Because my job is about finding answers, and I hope those answers bring peace. "But sometimes they aren't the answers that anyone wants to hear, people aren't who you expect them to be, victims don't always fit the ideal narrative. "Money and power can help you re-write history until even you believe it, but [in the end] everyone needs the truth, so I'll keep looking for it."
