Glastonbury kicked off with a bang last night as 200,000 festival-goers arrived at Worthy Farm for a four-day music extravaganza. Revellers will enjoy performances from Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and country legend Shania Twain over the weekend.

READ: Glastonbury revellers were soaked in downpours on day two of the mega-festival following the UK's 30C heatwave before the sun made a reappearance.

This morning started off a damp squib as the heavens opened - with pictures showing revellers taking outdoor showers and retreating to their cardboard tents. Last night, festivalgoers were pictured inhaling 'laughing gas' from balloons on the grass. Elsewhere, a small mobile cart saw entrepreneurs flogging little bottles claiming to contain the 'vegan alternative to cocaine'.

It claims to prevent 'over-consumption, over-stimulation and burn-out' by sustaining high octane levels. 'With Glastonbury Festival also taking place this week and expected warm weather, we are sharing a few reminders about simple steps people can take to look after themselves, and stay healthy and well.'

That is affecting services to and from London Paddington, which is on the route serving Castle Cary, the nearest station to Glastonbury Festival.Dozens of people sat on the floor at London Paddington near the boarding area for Castle Cary services. 'We're still looking forward to it - a couple of hours won't make a difference to the whole weekend.'

Also happening on Thursday, fitness expert Joe Wicks will lead a group exercise session for festival-goers - raising their heart rates at the Gateway stage. Other highlights on Friday will include D-Block Europe and Idles playing the Other Stage, while Jungle top the bill on West Holts and Fontaines DC head up the Park Stage.
