A British man has died after falling from a fortress wall in Serbia during an annual music festival, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has said.

The 22-year-old man, identified only as Anthony J. F, died early on Saturday in the Novi Sad hospital from injuries he sustained in the fall.

Thousands of people have arrived in Serbia for the Exit music festival held every summer at the ancient Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad.

A spokesman for the FCO said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Serbia following a fall at a music festival and we are providing consular assistance to the family."
