It’s only 10 o’clock and already the sun is threatening to make lobsters of us all.
Despite a huge night last night, it’s just way too hot to be stuck in a tent, so hundreds of people are wandering round, just trying to stay cool.
Cat and Pete are getting married next week in Chester. They’ve been together two and a half years and this is now their third Glastonbury together – and their last ones as single people!
They’ve been dressed as bride and groom since first thing Wednesday morning.
Cat’s dress isn’t the one she’s wearing on Friday (!) but a charity shop purchase purely for Glastonbury fun.
It’s already a bit dirty and grass-stained, but she’s hoping it’ll see through the festival.
They actually wanted to get married at the festival, but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Instead, they’re relaxing in the sunshine ahead of their big day next week.
The general vibe in the evening is really chilled – and not just because everyone’s had a bit too much sun and too much football!
There’s no action at any of the music venues on the first night so it’s got a special feel of its own – a chance for people to get their bearings, meet up, have a wander or just sit round the campfire.
Some create their own music – like the duo we met (above) who call themselves La Raga and get the whole family involved in their jamming sessions. Others are so exhausted after their epic journeys – or the excitement of the England match – they can’t keep their eyes open.
Danny Wagg from Warrington and his 20 mates have been out collecting wood from around the festival site and now they reckon they’ve got enough to keep their fire going until Sunday night.
They’re camped near the Glade – and in the nearby market area people are checking out stalls and grabbing something to eat.
It feels a little bit like the calm before the storm – conserving energy for the next few nights.
The England tops and facepaint have started to come off (or run in the heat) and Glastonbury is settling in for a totally chilled out sunset.
