Rolling Stones make Glastonbury history.

Festival goers literally travel to the past for Saturday headliners


It seems like only yesterday: Ronnie Woods rehearsing for Glastonbury

Last night saw the culmination of 43 years of Glastonbury as the Rolling Stones finally made their debut on the famous Pyramid Stage. "It was just amazing", said a fan. 

Festival organiser Michael Eavis also joined in the praise, saying: "wow, that was really brilliant", adding that the previous four decades of Glastonbury had been but a carefully constructed build up for the Stones' first appearance. 

The obligatory mood of dazed ecstasy also extended to the less likely members of the crowd. One of the few MME interviewees that hadn't entered a comatose state of enjoyment was able to tell us: "so far I've seen Dizzee Rascal and Rita Ora but obviously it's the Rolling Stones I came here for". 

We were also able to catch up with Radio 1 breakfast DJ Nick "Grimmy" Grimshaw who told us that although he was disappointed they left 'Moves like Jagger' out of the setlist, the Rolling Stones were still "so good" and "such cool guys to hang out with, as I was just saying to my friend Harry Styles".
