Prince Charles Takes Tour Of Glastonbury Festival Site

Prince Charles has taken a tour of the Glastonbury festival in Somerset this afternoon (June 24).

The prince was escorted around Worthy farm by organiser Michael Eavis, before being introduced to musicians and festival-goers.

Charles' visit, which was linked to his role as president of Wateraid - one of three charities to benefit directly from Glastonbury – also coincides with the festival's 40th anniversary.

Thousands of festival-goers have already arrived on site ahead of the start of the festival tomorrow (June 25).
