Here's the Mancunian Way for today:

I hope you enjoyed the glorious sunshine over the weekend. It looked like a fantastic couple of days for the 80,000 music fans who headed to Parklife, with our reporters picking out the sets from Wu-Tang Clan, The Prodigy and The 1975 as particular highlights.

In fact The 1975 were so popular that some fans camped outside Heaton Park on Saturday night (with provisions of Jammy Dodgers) to make sure they had a spot right in front of the stage once the doors opened at midday. That’s dedication.

It was (mostly) a very sunny and hot couple of days. But a few dark clouds above Prestwich brought about a ‘full show stop’ on Sunday afternoon. As a precaution, the music was turned off and fans were told to ‘move three metres’ away from large structures ahead of torrential downpours that lasted around 40 minutes. Not that it put a dampener on things - after all, it wouldn’t be Manchester without a bit of rain. And as you can see from the faces in these pictures, everyone got over it pretty quickly.

There was one final hitch though. On Sunday afternoon - just as thousands prepared to head home - Metrolink announced the suspension of multiple lines due to 'severe' damage to the overhead line at Victoria. It left many partygoers with the options of piling onto a shuttle bus, or walking three miles back into town from Heaton Park. If you’ve ever done that walk, you’ll know it’s quite a trek - especially when you’ve been partying all weekend and may be feeling a little bit…tired and emotional.
