  • Story Text: Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof arrives in Scotland ahead of G8 leaders conference.



    Bob Geldof arrived in Edinburgh on Tuesday (July 5) one day ahead of
    the G8 summit in Scotland.

    Geldof, who organised the Live 8 concerts on Saturday (July 2), came to
    Edinburgh to take part in Wednesday's "Long Walk To Justice" concert
    in Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh.

    Arriving on a chartered Virginrail train in Edinburgh's Waverley
    station, Geldof said he was out to achieve a historic breakthrough.

    "I've been to a lot of G8s and this one is substantially
    different," he said.

    Geldof is looking to leaders to respond to his demands by doing more to
    help the poor when they meet in Gleneagles.
