MUDDY MAYHEM AT GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

  Festival fans were contending with muddy mayhem at Glastonbury after torrential downpours turned the 900-acre site into a quagmire.
  Every inch of Worthy Farm in Somerset has become a mud bath as early arrivals gear up for the beginning of the main event.
Welly-clad music fans put on brave faces despite hundreds of tents flooding and treacherous conditions underfoot.
  Headliners at this year’s event are Coldplay, Beyonce and U2.
