Marvellous too, of course. Like every year at the iconic UK festival, no amount of bad weather was going to halt the festivities at Worthy Farm this weekend, as a population the size of Bath (120,000) descended on Pilton for three days of the biggest bands of the planet. It’s a cliche, but the joy of Glastonbury is there really is something for everyone. So for every lame duck on the Pyramid Stage – sorry, Muse and Coldplay – there’s tens of exciting artists, sights, sounds and indeed smells to behold elsewhere on site.
