- Revellers among the first to arrive at Glastonbury Festival have praised it as a “community” and a “religious” experience.
Organiser Emily Eavis, stood without her father and festival founder Sir Michael Eavis, led those queuing in a countdown before she opened the gates to the Worthy Farm showpiece at 8am on Wednesday morning.
Ollie Howarth from London was at the front of the queue to be one of the first through Glastonbury’s gates along with his friends Owen Ellis and Beth Albuery, both 29 and also from London.
“We got the coach at 4am from Bristol and then managed to make it to the very front of the queue,” the 30-year-old who works in finance told the PA news agency.
“We saw Emily Eavis… it’s cool to actually see it from the very start.
“She opened the gate and I was too busy thinking about getting in… we did the countdown and just charged past her.
“It’s an honour and a privilege (to be the first through the gates) and now we’ve sent our friends off to put up the tents and we’re celebrating with a coffee.”
Mr Howarth said he was particularly looking forward to seeing the Sugababes, who are playing on the West Holts stage on Friday.
With the festival taking place this year in the final week of a General Election campaign, the three friends said they were pleased to be able to switch off from politics.
Asked what political message they feel Glastonbury shares, Ms Albuery said: “Community, positivity, being green (and) getting people together.”
A drum and bass DJ who goes by the name Bob the Blender was already set up in a camping spot overlooking the Pyramid Stage by 9am on Wednesday morning and described the festival as a “religious” experience.
