Glastonbury Festival clean-up under way
Thousands of volunteers have begun cleaning up the Glastonbury Festival site as the festival finishes for another year.
It comes hours after US R&B star SZA closed the festival with a headlining set on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Thousands of revellers leaving the site on Monday have been urged to take all their belongings and tidy their campsite.
People had been told the best time to leave to avoid queues was between midnight and 0700 BST on Monday and long waits are likely through the rest of the day.
Rachel Aggitt has been litter picking since 05:00 BST this morning.
She said: "We're in a good spirit this morning, lots of us have found fairy wings to dress up in.
"There are so many bins onsite but sometimes it's hard when there are huge crowds to carry your rubbish.
"It's very satisfying when it's all clean."
'Littering is much less nowadays'
Bronwen Rashad, is the litter picking manager at Glastonbury Festival and says there's 'hardly any rubbish" on the ground compared to ten to twenty years ago.
She said: "There's been a huge change in the public behaviour and they do mostly use the bins provided.
“Most of the rubbish that is dropped is recyclables as there’s less plastic used on site now.
"About 98% of people take their tents home which is hugely helpful - if you came tomorrow it would start to look like a farm again."
Preparations for 2025
Festival organiser Emily Eavis has said 2026 will be a fallow year for Glastonbury, to allow the land to rest and recover, but she is already in talks with acts to headline in 2025.
This was the first year to feature two female headliners on the Pyramid Stage, Dua Lipa on Friday and SZA on Sunday.
On Saturday Coldplay made history as the first act to headline the festival five times.
