"I had to come down here. We need to show the country how much our steelworks mean to us."

High streets are full of 90s rave-era fashions and stonewashed jeans, and Liam's Lennon-esque sunglasses never really went out of fashion. "The big difference is that the 90s Cool Britannia optimism has been replaced by 21st Century post-Brexit nihilism," Andy says."Britpop itself was 60s revivalism," he adds. "Oasis were inspired by The Beatles. Blur by The Kinks. They took that inspiration and made it new.

"Now we're at the same point [after] another 30-year cycle. Bands who grew up with Britpop are turning that influence into something different. Our thing is to mix it with punk and post-hardcore."So where do Oasis fans hang out these days? "I always seem to meet them in record stores," says Emma. "Though most of my friends I’ve met online. Some are my age and some are older. It’s always really great to meet others who share that love."I think Oasis fans are just lurking. A lot of them wait for someone to give them 'the look'. I’ll be buying a CD in a shop and we’ll just look over at each other, suss each other out, and start chatting as if we've known each other for years. It's nice like that."

This new fandom is united by many of the same things that appealed to Oasis fans in the 1990s - the sense that the naughtiest boys in school have invited us to trash the common room with them, and the simple pleasure of belting out songs that combine both raw power and tender melody.Slide Away is "so beautiful", says Yulia. "There is so much emotion in this song and the way Liam sings so passionately just gives me goosebumps every time."

Jasmine says she first listened to Definitely Maybe five years ago, at the age of 14. She thinks despite the brothers being no strangers to controversy - Liam has used homophobic slurs on Twitter while Noel was criticised for moaning about Jay-Z, a hip-hop artist, headlining Glastonbury - the band's fans have moved beyond the laddish reputation.

"Now in the fandom, especially on Twitter and at the [Liam solo] gigs, there is large number of women and girls, probably an even split with the males."A portrait of Sir David Attenborough is being auctioned to raise money for charity.

John Donaldson, from Bristol, has painted more than 200 portraits of more than 150 celebrities and sports stars."I really enjoyed this piece and it's probably my favourite painting that I've ever done," Mr Donaldson said.
