An 18-year-old man from Wolverhampton, who did not want to be named, said the incident was a “disaster waiting to happen” because security searches were poor and “anyone could have brought something.”

He said of the entrance: ‘Me and the friend I was with, not once were we asked to empty our pockets even though mine were full. He was wearing cargo pants with full pockets.

“They didn’t even touch me while they searched me, they just followed the contour of my body with their hands and then they touched me to tell me to come in.

“Obviously you want everyone to have fun and have fun [but] when we walked in I said to my friend, ‘That’s the worst search I’ve ever seen.'” Anyone could have brought anything.
