A woman that works for a charity that aims to help those in need at Leeds Festival has said that two men came to her last night after their tent was burnt down in the early hours of the morning.

In the video below she explains that "everything that they had was gone" and the charity - Festival Angels - responded by giving them a tent, sleeping bags and a mat. She said: "They were very sad but hopefully they'll cheer up once they've had some sleep."
