A river runs through it

The BBC 6 O'Clock News report from Glastonbury voiceover started "The Glastonbury Festival" and left it at that for about ten seconds, which at least brings an end to four or five festivals of declaring sunshine unlikely weather. BBC3 have apparently been flooded out of their entire set, which does mean they can't do their loosely defined chats and impromptu performances - anyone else recall Wayne Coyne and Tim DeLaughter doing Willie Nelson's Good Hearted Woman a couple of years ago? - but on the flipside means there is now a more likely chance of Colin Murray being struck by lightning. Sweetest moment of this so far is Bloc Party opening with Like Eating Glass and Kele nearly being silenced halfway through his first line as thousands upon thousands sang it back at him. Not quite as sure about Matt Tong having 'HELLO MUM' written up his forearm.

Where do they get all those flags from?
