A man who died at one of the the largest music festivals in Cumbria has been named as Barry Findley from County Durham.

The 51-year-old, who was attending Solfest, was found dead in his tent at 4.20am.

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, and it is believed that he died of natural causes.
