‘Best Glasto yet’

EMILY Eavis has shared a thank you message after this year’s Glastonbury festival declaring it was “surely the best one yet”.

The co-organiser of the starstudded event, alongside her father Michael, shared a selection of pictures on her Instagram account from Sunday night, which saw Kendrick Lamar close the festival.

She wrote: “Sunday rounding off an incredible weekend... thank you to everyone who came here and made it so special. It surely was the best one yet!

“A remarkable feat by all artists and crew, thank you to everybody who played a part and everyone who came and created such an amazing atmosphere of joy and love. Safe travels home. See you next year!”.

Her message came as the clean-up operation was under way to return it from a pop-up city of 200,000 people to a Somerset dairy farm.

The clean-up crew tackled overflowing waste bins with big items such as camping chairs, blow-up mattresses, slippers, flip-flops and shopping bags needing to be disposed of.

They were also left picking up thousands of discarded items including paper cups and food containers after people descended on Worthy Farm for the festival.
