An army of 40,000 security guards, litter pickers, stewards, volunteers and retailers will also spill onto the site over the next few days.

The staggering crowd size at Glastonbury 2015 gives it a population bigger than that of Bath, Reading and Oxford.

From up above, the site becomes a canvas of colour as entire fields are covered in the familiar canvas of colour.
