A man who died at Glastonbury Festival has been named by police as 24-year-old Neil Clinning, from Cleveleys, Lancashire.

A post-mortem examination will be carried out on Monday. Mr Clinning collapsed on Saturday in a car park.

He received treatment at the scene from medical staff and later died at the site medical centre at 0355 BST.

By 0800 BST on Sunday, reported crime at the festival - excluding drugs offences - was down by 38%, said Avon and Somerset Police.

A total of 136 crimes had been reported, compared to 220 by this stage in 2003.
