Eagle-eyed viewers watching coverage of Glastonbury will have spotted a Liverpool legend among the crowds at this year’s festival
Thousands of people descended on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy farm yesterday evening, Friday 23 June, to see a mystery act on the schedule. Billed as the ChurnUps, the slot eventually gave way to a rousing performance from American rockers the Foo Fighters - the band's first time at the festival since headlining in 2017.
But one megastar in particular got the memo ahead of everyone else with Sir Paul McCartney captured by television cameras among the crowds. The former Beatle could be seen at the side of the stage enjoying the band’s performance.

Only 12 months ago, Sir Paul was in the same position but at the front of the stage. The musical icon played the Saturday headline slot at Glastonbury with a setlist that spanned his half a century long career at the top of the music business.
The show last year even featured a cameo from Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters frontman. While Sir Paul did not take to the stage on this occasion to return the favour, he was there to show his support from the side-lines.
Arctic Monkeys rounded off the first night of music on the Pyramid Stage. Tonight, Saturday 24 June, Guns N Roses take the headline slot with Elton John closing proceedings tomorrow, Sunday 25 June.
