Wembley record 'broken by U2 gig'

U2's first UK gig in their current tour is thought to have broken the attendance record for a Wembley Stadium concert, organisers have said.

About 88,000 people were expected to attend the Irish group's concert on Friday.

Wembley's previous biggest crowd is believed to have been the 83,000 who saw Rod Stewart perform there in 1995.

That figure was matched last summer by the Foo Fighters when the US band played at Wembley following its rebuilding.
