Big V Festival clean-up gets underway at Weston Park - with VIDEO and PICTURES
Less than 48 hours ago 70,000 people were rocking out to their favourite acts – now it's just a sea of abandoned tents and rubbish.
This is the aftermath of V Festival at Weston Park, and now various Rotary and Lions groups from around the region have come together to clear it.
Their efforts come after it was revealed by Staffordshire Police that more than 40 arrests were made during the festival mainly for drugs and violence offences.
But despite the number of arrests, double that of last year, the force declared the festival went ahead without major incidents or unrest.
There were 41 arrests over the weekend, including charges of drug dealing and possession as well as assault, theft and possession of an offensive weapon.
A force spokesman said: "In the last 24 hours of the festival we saw a similar number of arrests to the first two days.
"There were seven separate men arrested for possession with intent to supply, two men and one woman arrested for assault, one man arrested for assaulting an officer and one man for a public order offence.
