Officers will be assisting stewards with traffic, but motorists are advised to seek an alternative route if travel is necessary - and allow extra time for journeys.

Chief Inspector Drew Sinclair, Event Commander said: “We have been working with the event organisers and our partners to make sure that the disruption is minimal.

“However we are anticipating thousands of people to be in and around the area and as such delays are likely.

“Irresponsible or criminal behaviour will not be tolerated and local by-laws apply which prohibit the drinking of alcohol in public.

“I would remind everyone attending the event to behave in a respectful and responsible manner”.
