Who are you?
My last night at Glastonbury began with a bit of Shirley Bassey. The crowd went to town dressing up for the musical diva with many a chap squeezed into a ladies frock. The Oxfam fancy dress stall had a run of blokes snapping up evening gowns, so my sari look was not out of place.
After Shirley's set the Welsh flags stayed aloft for the Manic Street Preachers, then the Pyramid Stage got lairy with the Kaisers. The festival came to a close with The Who and, despite the rain, the crowd were wowed, watching under their brollies and holding candle torches.
The rain continued to lash down throughout the night and was particularly heavy at 5am when we chose to dismantle our tent. The trudge back to the car with luggage was made worthwhile by the warmth and mudlessness of the car. On the radio on the drive home we heard that 1,500 people were suffering from mud-related injuries!
The people at Glatonbury have really been brilliant and the atmosphere was always upbeat despite the weather. Over 45,000 amazing folk signed our climate change petition over the festival, bringing in a total of 70,000 signatures for the I Count coalition - an astounding job. I will be back tomorrow for my round up but now I am going to have a well deserved warm bath.
