A huge clean-up operation has started at Glastonbury after 200,000 revellers turned up to enjoy performances from top musicians over the weekend. It was the first time the event had been staged since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and it had many highlights.
The 800-acre Worthy Farm site was left strewn with thousands of discarded items including paper cups and food containers, and volunteers began shifting the rubbish as festival-goers made their way home. The crew also dealt with over-flowing bins and big items like camping chairs, blow-up mattresses, slippers, flip-flops and shopping bags.
Campers left the Somerset site on Monday morning, having witnessed headline sets during the event from Sir Paul McCartney and Billie Eilish as well as Kendrick Lamar's dramatic demonstration for female rights. Diana Ross also entertained the crowds with hit after hit after taking to the stage during the Sunday teatime legends slot.
