Glastonbury Festival chaos as local Co-op runs out of ice and fans in hour-long queues amid 25C heat

The start of this year's Glastonbury Festival has been chaotic for attendees as many are having to wait as long as one hour to refill their water bottles. Meanwhile, a local Co-op has completely run out of ice as revellers swelter under sunny skies.

With more than 210,000 attendees expected to descend on Worthy Farm this weekend, it could be just the start of long queues as the temperature soars across Somerset. Asked where the worst queues have been, a music fan at the festival told us: "Water, water for sure."

Turning to her friend, the festival-goer added: "You guys were gone for an hour." The news comes after reports of long queues at shops to buy basic items, while others take shelter under trees from the heat as the mercury hits 25C in the south-west.
