We're ending our coverage for tonight but before you go, here is a recap of what happened today:

• Storm Lilian hit the UK bringing extremely strong wings, the highest of which was recorded in Capel Curig, Gwynedd, at 73mph;
• Over 73,000 people in the North East and Yorkshire region lost power due to the storm;
• The strong winds hit Leeds Festival, forcing organisers to close three stages and delay entry into the main arena;
• The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain across much of South East England, coming into force from 6am tomorrow.

Workers were earlier pictured clearing up debris that was blocking roads and tramlines in Greater Manchester. 

Some Metrolink tram services in the city were suspended due to the branches and leaves that had blown onto the track as winds up to 60mph hit the area this morning.

One of the branches was pictured suspended between overhead lines.

Indie group Corella said earlier today that it was their dream to play the main stage at Leeds Festival, but were "absolutely gutted" when their set got cancelled over weather disruptions.

Posting on social media, lead singer Joel Smith said: "The weather has not been on our side and the safety of our fans come first.

"We are absolutely gutted, to play the main stage at Leeds was a dream, but we will be back."

He then apologised to fans who had come to watch their set at the festival in Bramham Park.

A lorry driving across the Humber Bridge had a near miss today as strong winds nearly toppled it over. 

The video, posted on Facebook, shows the vehicle's rear wheels lift on one side as the strength of the wind pushes it towards the edge of the suspension bridge.

Cars behind the lorry are seen slowing down, as it comes to an  swerves back and forth and eventually comes to a halt.

More now from those at Leeds Festival who had to camp overnight as Storm Lilian hit the UK. 

One festivalgoer told Sky News' Frazer Maude that she had to "sleep in a puddle" after two of her tent poles broke and water leaked in.

She said one of the walls of their tent is now laying on the ground, and she had to use her pillow to try and "soak up" the water that had come in.

Her friend added: "This morning tents were flying past us. It is really bad, our entire campsite now just has holes in the ground with no tents."

With Storm Lilian causing disruption today, tomorrow could bring even more problems, particularly for the South and East of England.

Earlier (see our 15.53 post) we reported that there is a yellow weather warning for heavy rain covering a large area from the Isle of Wight up to Ipswich, Suffolk, and London.

The warning comes into force at 6am, with the Met Office warning that rain will linger until around lunchtime, bringing potential for travel disruption.

Into the afternoon, rainfall could turn thundery, with Wales and northern parts of England expecting drier but cooler weather.

Temperatures are expected to be in the high teens, according to the Met Office.

On Sunday, southern Britain and Ireland will be mainly dry, with some sunshine, but elsewhere there'll be showers or longer spells of rain. It'll be on the cool side again and rather blustery, especially in the North.

A similar picture is expected for bank holiday Monday as southern and eastern Britain will be mainly dry, with bright or sunny spells while the wind will pick up again in the North and West.

Storm Lilian has been causing havoc across Wales and England today. 

As well as disruption at Leeds Festival and Creamfields, winds of up to 73mph led to trees being knocked down, scaffolding being toppled over and lots of wind swept hair dos.

Disruption was also felt on the roads as millions of Britons start the August bank holiday weekend.

RAC estimates 19.2 million leisure car trips will be made this weekend, with 3.2 million today.

Alice Simpson, a spokesperson for the breakdown company, said the storm and large number of expected trips are the "perfect storm" for drivers.

She said drivers should avoid "exposed coasts and higher routes" where there's a larger chance of fallen branches and trees - as well as keeping speeds low and stopping distance high.

Earlier, queues for the Port of Dover were seen, with mostly lorries backed up, while ferries battled choppy sea conditions on the way to France.

Throughout the day, festivalgoers have been sharing footage online of tents being blown away in the strong winds caused by Storm Lilian.

Watch below as one tent soars above one of the campsites at Leeds Festival, while other music fans at Creamfields battle to keep theirs standing.

One band has said they are "pretty gutted" after their performance at Leeds Festival was cancelled due to winds caused by Storm Lilian.

The members of rock band Baby Said told Sky News' Frazer Maude that their performance on the BBC Radio 1 Introducing stage being axed was "quite a big hit" having travelled seven hours to the festival.

"We were really excited because it is a massive opportunity but we were told we couldn't go on," Jess, one of the members, said.

Remaining positive, the girls said they are now looking forward to their performance at Reading Festival on Sunday... weather permitting, that is.

Over 73,000 people in the North East and Yorkshire region lost power due to Storm Lilian.

The company responsible for restoring the outage - Northern Powergrid - has said the majority of customers have been reconnected, but 11,741 remain off supply.

Louise Lowes, director of customer service at Northern Powergrid, said: "We thank our customers for their patience. We are doing all we can to provide updates about when we will be able to get their power safely back on."

The company encouraged anyone with neighbours or relatives who may be in a vulnerable position to call them so they can provide additional support.
