Lily Allen calls out 'c***' who interrupted Grenfell silence during Isle of Wight festival

Lily Allen branded one Isle of Wight festival-goer a “c***” after they apparently talked through the minute’s silence intended to honour victims of the Grenfell tragedy.

The pop singer was performing at the festival on Friday 14 June, two years to day since the fire that took 72 lives.

Following the minute’s silence she announced: “Whoever was shouting out through that, you’re a c***,” before dedicating her song “The Fear” to those who had interrupted.

Elsewhere in the UK, Grenfell was marked by huge marches in London to remember the victims of the fire and to prove it would not be "swept under the carpet".

Allen was among the acts to perform on the first day of Isle of Wight, which was headlined by Noel Gallagher.

“His infamous scissors player Charlotte Marionneau may have departed – presumably caught running in corridors – but his Birds fill the gaping chasm with a bawling passion that offsets Noel’s stony stoicism,” our critic Mark Beaumont wrote of Gallagher’s set.

“A new track, the Jungle-style space disco “Black Star Dancing”, suggests that stylistically Gallagher’s not looking back, but he’s also not averse to crowd-pleasing. The set descends into an all-out Oasis-along: “Little By Little” the root of all this psych, “Wonderwall” still bafflingly underwhelming for a generational anthem, “Half The World Away” charmingly knockabout, “Don’t Look Back In Anger” sparse yet effective.

“He might lean on past glories and close with The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love”, thoroughly on-theme, but Noel’s set finds him back at the top of the festival bills more relevant than he’s been since Knebworth ’96.”
