Glastonbury Festival punters queue for 24 hours to be first on the site

Excitement is building for this year's Glastonbury Festival which gets under way today after two barren years due to Covid. Hundreds of thousands are set to descend on Worthy Farm for the first time since 2019 to see the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar perform.

Gates opened to the iconic festival site at 8am and people have been queueing overnight to get in as early as possible. Many have slept in their cars just to make sure they can be among the first to go through the gates.

The obvious prize position to be in is the front of the queue and this morning (June 22), the punters who made it there have revealed the lengths they had to go to in order to be there. Some have even been waiting there since 8am yesterday just be the first in.
