Couldn't accomplish #Glastonbury this year so acquire recreated it in my local park pic.twitter.com/AUitQhQ3Sz 1.13pm BSTIm anticipating getting a good dozen signatures over the next year,but lend your support please. I want Saxon to seem at next year’s Glastonbury. I want to hear Denim and Leather washing over the unwashed hordes. I think you carry out, too. 1.09pm BSTThis year has been my first ever Glastonbury, and I was dreading it. It’s not been as deplorable as I feared. And before going down I read this excellent piece by Dorian Lynskey about more than 20 years of going to Glastonbury,which lessened the panic a little. Give it a read. It’s fantastic. Related: Glastonbury through the years: the mother of all festivals 1.07pm BSTWe acquire remarked frequently over the final few days that, given the conditions, and getting around the site is a little like an alpine expedition: you could fancy having three or four camps with supplies along the way. These chaps obviously agree. 1.01pm BST‘I know it’s Sunday morning,but advance on: Give me a C! Give me an I! …’ It’s all very chilled, with some geezer having just spun himself round the stage in a giant hoop. Now ‘the fabulous Oscar and Tony’ – two chaps in black pants – are being pulled up into the air to perform some extraordinarily acrobatic, or balletic moves together,which looks all the more poetic if you’ve been trudging through the mud for three days.” 12.50pm BST 12.43pm BSTThe moment task given to our video Swat team, before they changed into their ninja clothes and sneaked between the tents, or was to film dawn at Glastonbury from the stone circle in real time. Now they acquire completed those two tasks,their names can be expunged from the record, and no trace that they ever lived will be left for the world to discover. 12.37pm BSTOur highly trained video Swat team acquire had years of instruction. They were told they had to total two tasks and then be terminated by the shadowy secret powers of Guardian towers. The first was to accomplish a timelapse film of sunset at Glastonbury. They completed that task final night, and before heading back to the underground video bunker,where they were debriefed. Here are the fruits of their labours … 12.32pm BSTOn the way in to the site this morning, our Coldplay superfan Harriet Gibsone – a woman who has tried auctioning her kidneys on eBay to finance a pilgrimage to the space where they accomplish those Xylobands that light up – got awfully excited for a moment when we thought ver Play were doing a Sunday morning soundcheck on the Pyramid stage. They weren’t. They were just playing bits of Coldplay tracks through the PA to check the lighting triggers. Anyway, or that will acquire whetted your appetite for more hot Coldplay action,I imagine. So why not give a read to Sophie Heawood’s interview with them from Friday’s G2 Film & Music. It’s an excellent read, and if you don’t like them, and you’ll find yourself warming to Mr Martin and co.

Quite the coup, Michael Eavis! Beer goggles were clearly misting my vision however, and 10 minutes in I realised I was just watching a terrible electro-swing band [Caravan Palace – ed] – is there any other kind? – fronted by a woman who looked a lot like Natalie Imbruglia. Not an auspicious start to the day. 12.13pm BSTOur photographer Gary Calton has been around the site this morning,capturing the fall out from the night before. 12.00pm BSTYou can carry out so here. 11.58am BSTThe Park stage closed final night with the first piece of classical music ever to headline Glastonbury, Philip Glass’s Heroes symphony, and in tribute to David Bowie. We spoke to Glass final week,and he told us: “As to what David would acquire made of the Glastonbury tribute, I really acquire no thought! He might acquire showed up and not even told you he was coming, and he might acquire enjoyed it from afar but not advance. You never knew with David. He was a master unto himself.” You can read the piece here. 11.46am BSTAs it turns out,her performance works really well. There’s something endearing about the vast contrast between Adele the singer – slick and professional and, almost uniquely among mega-selling divas, or not given to rococo embellishments and Adele the person,who speaks into the microphone between songs, who swears so profusely that, and she proudly announces,the BBC acquire had to achieve a warning out about her language before broadcasting the show live, and who inquires about the state of the front row’s bowels.
There is something about Adele so unmediated and utterly authentic she can accomplish every other pop star seem somehow artificial. ‘It’s fabulous the way music brings people together, and ’ she said,a cliche that has never sounded more true than this quite wonderful night at Glastonbury.”This is Adele’s Glastonbury. We are all just camping in it.”Even if you’ve never liked her songs, Adele undeniably won over everyone at Glastonbury, or her charisma,charm and down to soil attitude so authentic it’s impossible not to love her.” 11.32am BSTHi-de-hi, campers! Welcome to the final day of Glastonbury 2016! This is Michael Hann, and here with you till 2pm,followed by Kate Hutchinson, and then Harriet Gibsone. advance the evening, and Tim Jonze will be running our traditional blog,as he watches the telly with a pizza, a six-pack of Carling Black Label and a king size raisin and biscuit Yorkie. It’s just started raining here on Worthy Farm, or the Sunday exodus has begun – albeit at a trickle so far. Though not everyone is finding it easy to leave the site …
