The UK’s biggest festival has officially begun with the founder greeting attendees at the gates amid a burst of torrential rain. At this year’s Glastonbury festival, held on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, the headliners Arctic Monkeys, Elton John and Guns N’ Roses will perform on the Pyramid stage. More than 200,000 people are expected to attend.
“Welcome to Glastonbury,” the co-organiser Emily Eavis said, addressing thousands of queuing festivalgoers.
