Glastonbury gates open as first fans through praise festival as ‘religious’ experience

Revellers among the first to arrive at Glastonbury Festival have praised it as a “community” and a “religious” experience.

Organiser Emily Eavis, stood without her father and festival founder Sir Michael Eavis, led those queuing in a countdown before she opened the gates to the Worthy Farm showpiece at 8am on Wednesday morning.

Ollie Howarth from London was at the front of the queue to be one of the first through Glastonbury’s gates along with his friends Owen Ellis and Beth Albuery, both 29 and also from London.

“We got the coach at 4am from Bristol and then managed to make it to the very front of the queue,” the 30-year-old who works in finance told the PA news agency.

“We saw Emily Eavis… it’s cool to actually see it from the very start.
