Silverstone To Increase Security Measures At British Grand Prix

Tens of thousands of fans "pouring into Silverstone" for the British Grand Prix this weekend "will face intense security checks in the wake of the terrorist attacks in London and Manchester," according to Kevin Eason of the London EVENING STANDARD. Police and security forces will "throw a ring of steel around the 800-acre site" in Northamptonshire for the four days of the event. They warned fans to "bring only one bag, no bigger than a rucksack, to the turnstiles, which should be tagged with names and mobile numbers." Silverstone officials are also "warning of long queues because of random bag searches, although they are promising free supplies of water once inside the gates" (EVENING STANDARD, 7/11).
