THE Hand of God has appeared in the skies over the Electric Picnic site in Stradbally.
Well, not quite, but a series of drone shots published by Laois-Offaly gardaí are definitely divine.
Posting aerial photos from their ‘Eye in the Sky’ today on the An Garda Síochána Laois-Offaly Facebook page, gardaí said: ‘We had the best of views from the sky and on the ground on day one at Electric Picnic in Stadbally, Co Laois.
‘We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable weekend, so look after yourselves and one another and we’re here to help.’
There’s also plenty of advice for Picnickers on the An Garda Síochána social media platforms, which are well worth checking out.
Among the tips, Laois-Offaly gardaí said: ‘We understand how important your phone is at this event. If you have lost your phone, please check at the Lost and Found, located at the Jimi Hendrix Campsite.
‘Be aware that there have been incidents of criminals pretending to be Gardaí who are attempting to access your phone and bank accounts. An Garda Síochána will never ask for your personal or bank details.’
