Sir Lenny Henry has said he is “always surprised” by the lack of black and brown people at Glastonbury, as he called for better representation of ethnic minorities in all facets of British society.

The actor and entertainer, whose new BBC documentary exploring identity and belonging is out later this month, said festivals were an area of British life where proper integration was still missing.
