The message that the Stone Roses were to play a Carlisle gig went out at 10:30am this Saturday... and within hours tickets had sold out.

Fans had to buy them in person at the venue - the Sands Centre - and bring along a piece of band memorabilia to be eligible.

One lucky fan told ITV Border he was over the moon to be seeing his favourite band in his home town.
