Almost every single one of the music lovers in the park recognised the 1967 belter. As the legendary sound of the chorus started, the thousands of exiting music lovers started to sing. Scores of people belted out the lyrics in joyous scenes to end the second day of TRNSMT. One festival-goer said: "Hearing everyone singing while walking out was amazing.

They were treated to epic sets by Sigrid and Fontaines D.C. on the main stage. Homegrown music legend Amy Macdonald also played the secret set at the festival. The festival was also hit with a scorching 32C heat, in one of the hottest days Scotland has seen in YEARS. Stewards were wandering the crowd handing out cups of water. While others were at the front of the stage spraying water onto crowds in the pens to keep them cool. Welfare stations with water and sun cream were also set up to help protect revellers from the heat. More good weather is expected today, with temperatures expected to reach 26C amid the sizzling heatwave blasting Scotland.
