I'm shooting a music festival soon, and they will need to have images edited and uploaded throughout the day. I don't have a laptop but I can send images from my camera to my phone and edit through Lightroom.
It's a Samsung phone which can be connected to a monitor via HDMI, which turns it into a mini computer. Could even stick a blutooth mouse into the mix.

What I'm looking for is a 10-12inch monitor instead of lugging my 28" from my desktop.

Any advice or recommendations please? Budget up to £100
 
A quick google throws up a few but none with a usable resolution. A 14" full HD is £105 from Scan but at that point you might be better off with a 13" laptop. You're going to need mains for the monitor so a small laptop might be a better option.
 
You could go for something cheap and cheerful from Amazon like this 10inch screen.
It'll need power, but you could provide that from a USB-C powerbank. The other problem is that it's not going to be colour accurate, though maybe for quick edits, that's not a concern.

Your other option is a video field monitor. Designed for mounting on a video camera, but also battery powered.
However, they tend to be smaller, 5-7inches.

The problem with using your phone is going to be the mess of adapters and cables to get it to work. Plus another powerbank for the phone.
You'd be better off just borrowing an iPad or laptop.
