Slash and Ray Davies or Rooney and England v Germany? Festival-goers had a tough decision at 3pm with many of them looking out their England tops again and heading to find a big screen showing the big match. Or, in the case of the Barnsley Warriors, getting kitted out in their full knights’ outfits – “we’re putting up a wall of shields to keep the Germans out”, they said.
Thousands of people flocked west past the John Peel Stage to Bushy Ground, which had been set up as the main football field – and the mood was tense and strangely quiet as the match kicked off. And when Germany took the lead after 21 minutes you could hear a pin drop.
