Glastonbury Festival from the archives: The biggest controversies | ITV News

"Somebody has to take a stand against these very dirty, very unwashed people."

Those were the words of one Glastonbury resident in the 1970s as festival-goers travelled to Pilton for the annual gathering on the Eavis farm.

Glastonbury Festival is now famous around the world, having become the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival on the planet.

But while the past 50 years have seen some incredible highs on Worthy Farm, the festival has also brought with it its fair share of controversy.

From gate-crashers breaking into the festival site to drug dealing and security measures on site - these are some of Glastonbury Festival's most controversial moments from the past 50 years.
