HOURS TO GO


taking the most-tagged photo

This is the moment we set out to attempt a new world record for the most people tagged in an online photo.

A huge crowd gathered in front of the Pyramid Stage to watch England’s crucial World Cup match against Slovenia – and during half-time we got on to the stage to take a series of high-res photos that will be turned into a giant 1.3 gigapixel image here on the site when the festival ends.

It took over seven whole minutes to complete the massive photo, and the atmosphere was electric as the camera panned around the crowd with everyone cheering and raising their hands into the air.

Once you’ve spotted yourself, you can connect to Facebook and ‘tag’ the photograph. We’re hoping it will create the most-tagged photo in the world.

The photo will be available here next week. If you were at the Pyramid Stage for the England match, don’t forget to come back and tag yourself. Even if you were stood right at the back, you’ll be able to zoom right in and spot your face in the crowd.
