Glastonbury Festival-goers leave sea of rubbish in front of the Pyramid stage as huge clean-up begins

The clean-up operation at Glastonbury has begun this morning (June 26), as crowds of litter pickers take to the fields to collect piles of garbage. Despite the festival's 'love the Farm, leave no trace' policy, it would seem many 2023 punters ignored this as pictures show all sorts of rubbish left strewn across Worthy Farm.

Tents, plastic bags, food containers and cans continue to get cleared from the site in Somerset after more than 210,000 people attended the five-day festival. This year's music extravaganza was brought to a close by headlining act Elton John last night, which marked the final UK show of his farewell tour.

Other highlights from the event's 51th year included headline sets from The Arctic Monkeys and Lana Del Rey. As well as Lewis Capaldi's emotional performance as the crowd supported him after he lost his voice and Lizzo making history by playing Mozart on the Library of Congress’ 200-year-old crystal flute.
