So, I've edited it here, first with the full video, then to highlight what cracked me up so much, but which I was completely unaware of at the time!
I do hope this person had a lovely #Glastonbury!

Anyway, this year, during a late-night walk to find the children chocolate, I actually saw it in action - so grabbed a video, for posterity's sake.
Watching it back, something grabbed me and made me laugh...

Some followers might remember that I have something of a love affair with the Lonely Hearts Club stage - not the music, so much, but the look of the thing. It's beautiful.
I tend to grab a picture of it each year.
Here it is at #Glastonbury 2022, for example... I love it.

Relive your arrival at #Glastonbury... Should you wish.
I was passing on the way to work this morning. 🤷‍♂️

There can be only one...

Probably my favourite photograph from #Glastonbury2025 is this one.
I feel like it could have been taken at any time between 1970 and now, I don't know why.

Criminal probe launched into Bob Vylan's anti-IDF comments at Glastonbury | The Somerset Leveller | In Print & Online Police have launched a criminal investigation into comments made at the Glastonbury Festival by punk-rapper Bob Vylan.

Police have now launched a 'criminal investigation' into comments made by Bob Vylan at #Glastonbury... 😲

An interesting contrast of what #Glastonbury stands for - in my view - and the changing framework in which it operates...

A 6am shower from the skies is not what I envisaged! 😳

Well, I bet that Pyramid show looked AMAZING at the front, or on telly, and it was great - but with no PA, it was sssshhhhhhh!
Well worth doing though, as an opening!

Are you in this lot?

Global Radio will double all donations so if you’re bored in the Q pls donate!

My advice, as someone who lives in #Somerset - look a bit further afield (you don't have to be far from Worthy!). Property here is cheap (it's all relative, I know...), but it is a truly delightful county in which to live and work.
