It captures the sweet moment festival-goers come together to lift the wheelchair user up in the air before passing him through the crowd as people cheer and clap.

This happened in the middle of Limp Bizkit set - who were headlining the event - which ended last Sunday (14).

As he makes his way towards the front barrier, security staff can be seen helping him safely back to the ground.

Sarah Parker, 40, from Rhyl, Wales, who caught the event, said: "I've been to Download Festival for the past four years, but I've never seen anything quite like it.

"I was amazed!

"Everyone immediately pulled together to make sure he could enjoy the moment.

"For a few moments, barriers disappear, and the crowd becomes one team.

"The atmosphere was incredible.

"I posted this video on social media, and the crowd surfer himself has actually seen it and commented that it was him, and he's so grateful to everyone there."
