Glastonbury 2024 is well and truly underway, with the third day in full swing.

After travel chaos and outrage at the food and drink prices at the festival, as thousands descended to Worthy Farm, Somerset, an overall idea of profits has been revealed.

This year’s event sees headline performances from Dua Lipa, Coldplay and American R&B singer SZA, while country star Shania Twain will play the coveted Legends slot.

Thursday festivities included a tribute to the late DJ Annie Nightingale, the first female presenter on BBC Radio 1, who died in January at the age of 83.

The special event took place across two stages at the festival and included a daytime celebration on The Glade stage, featuring King Of The Beats and Paper Dragon, before it moved to the BBC Music Introducing stage for the evening.

Elsewhere, and just days after the birth of his fourth child, Joe Wicks led a fitness session and set his sights on taking his workouts to the Pyramid Stage.

The founder of the festival, Sir Michael Eavis, delighted audiences with a few songs at The Park Stage and one couple got married, and another took part in a handfasting ceremony at the festival.

We’re going to be keeping you up to date with everything from artist antics to the rumours of who will be making a surprise appearance, with reporter Danni Scott on the ground for her first-ever Glasto!

Get ready for the next three days of music, celeb spotting, and the weird and wonderful world of Glastonbury 2024.
