Glastonbury 2024 in pictures: Sunshine and secret sets

15:27 pm on 1 July 2024

The last day of Glastonbury, in southwest England, saw thousands of fans flock to hear some of music's biggest names, including Shania Twain, SZA and Coldplay.

Parasols and umbrellas were dotted around in front of the Pyramid Stage as festival-goers watched acts including Cyndi Lauper, Ayra Starr, the Last Dinner Party and Avril Lavigne.

The festival, now in its 54th year, saw Coldplay take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, the band's fifth headline appearance.

Actor Michael J Fox appeared on screen with the band to play 'Fix You'.

Martin told the audience that the star's 1985 film Back To The Future was "the main reason why we're in a band".

Chefs serving up Sunday roasts to hungry festival-goers sold out in just 55 minutes, and on Monday weary revellers will make their way back home, and the mass clean-up operation will begin.
