There's been a slight rise this year in the number of people needing medical treatment at this year’s V Festival at Weston Park.

681 patients have been treated up to this morning, with 11 needing to be taken to hospital.

West Midlands Ambulance Service say that thanks to the weather, injuries from slips, trips and falls have featured heavily, but other reasons for accessing medical help have been on-going conditions, and injuries sustained as a result of having drunk too much alcohol.
