My parents were hippies!

I’m sure that they would have loved to go to the first Glastonbury Festival; held 50 years’ ago, but I don’t think their old Frogeye Sprite would have made it that far.

Performers included T.Rex and Hawkwind and the £1 entrance fee also included free milk!

This year’s anniversary festival features artists as diverse as you can imagine, with Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift headlining the main stage. I’m sure that none of the revellers from 1970 would have imagined how huge and iconic the festival has now become.

This year sees milestones of many famous icons including the National Trust.
