Derry Girls actress Siobhán McSweeney has shared her delight after spotting a flag of her character at Glastonbury over the weekend.
The Cork native played Sister Michael in the Channel 4 show which ended earlier this year after three seasons. Over the weekend, she responded to a tweet showing the nun on a flag at Glastonbury.
The character was depicted in the middle of an Irish flag, with her signature eye roll and expression of "Christ." And Siobhán had a hilarious response to seeing it flying high at Worthy Farm.

She responded by sharing the tweet and saying: "Omg. I want all the Irish people at Glastonbury to gather under this flag, and storm the pyramid stage!!"
Spotting the image after having a bad day, the actress added "this will cheer me up mightily."
Last week, Derry Girls writer Lisa McGee appeared on Ray D'Arcy's RTE radio show where she revealed a huge part of the show wasn't originally planned to be in it. When she set out to write the show, she didn't want any of The Troubles to feature.
She said: "I wanted to write about my school days in the convent school and that experience.
"I wanted to leave the Troubles out because I'd sort of promised myself I'd never write about them and I was so sick of them, having grown up with all that. I just wanted a different image of the place I came from."
However, the writer changed her mind after a friend persuaded her to include it as she found the stories interesting and funny.
Lisa added: "But an executive I work very closely with - she often found the stories of me and my friends who were all from Derry funny.
"She said 'I think you're leaving out the interesting thing that's really unique' and I kind of huffed for a bit but she was very experienced so I listened to her."
