David's death has 'taken an emotional toll on myself and all of my staff, no question about that'.
The founder of Reading and Leeds Festivals says he doesn’t think unaccompanied 16- and 17-year-olds should be banned from the events.
Mr Benn, managing director of Festival Republic, told David’s parents at Wakefield Coroner’s Court of his ‘genuine sorrow’ at their son’s death. David went to the festival, which attracts more than 90,000 people every summer to Bramham Park, near Leeds, with five friends from their homes in Worsley, Greater Manchester, in August last year.
