Becky Hill has her big day later this summer and travelled up from Tamworth, near Birmingham, this morning. It’s going to be a long day for her bridal party, with seven of her nearest and dearest accompanying the 35-year-old.

“We travelled up today, at 6am,” Becky told the Manchester Evening News . “We’re excited to see Lewis Capaldi and Megan Thee Stallion.

“We’ve done a few festivals, that’s what we do. My other half has gone to a festival in Portugal.”

Her hen party has been organised by her sister-in-law, Becky added, ahead of her dream wedding with Andrew near Athens at the end of August.
