Bags packed for T in the Park

GABRIELLE Thompson, left, and Diane Lyon, from Liverpool, arrive at Balado fully kitted out for this weekend's T in the Park.

The event begins on Friday, while the Stone Roses are headlining on Saturday and violinist Nicola Benedetti will debut as the first classical performer on the main stage, opening on Sunday.

Thousands of fans will be braced for muddy conditions when they descend on the campsite near Kinross to watch acts such as Emeli Sande, Florence and the Machine, Jessie J and Amy Macdonald.
