Oasis crowds gather at 'Gallagher Hill' despite barrier
Hundreds of ticketless Oasis fans turned up to the area dubbed "Gallagher Hill" in Heaton Park to listen to the band's penultimate Manchester concert, despite requests not to.A fence was installed last week which blocked the view, after many spectators gathered on the slope to watch the gigs. However, images show crowds still turned out on Saturday even though Manchester City Council had urged ticketless fans to not attend, saying "you won't be able to see the show".Greater Manchester Police said the concert itself "concluded without any major incidents", but the force arrested 14 people on suspicion of fraud, assault and drink driving. The council previously said the site had been fenced off to protect livestock and recently planted Mancunian band's final concert in the city is due to be held later, before they head to London to perform at Wembley Stadium as part of their international reunion tour.
