12pm news update

Police announced this morning that a 25-year-old man died yesterday evening. Details of how he died have not yet revealed, but his death is not being treated as suspicious.

Other news today includes the 4pm Glastonbury Moment: every stage on site will stop at 4pm and encourage festival-goers to join hands and raise them aloft in support of the Make Poverty History campaign. Bob Geldof will be cheerleading on the Pyramid Stage. "It's a simple gesture in support of a massively important campaign," said one of the organisers, "and we hope it will have global impact."

And although the site is almost entirely consumed by mud ranging in consistency from sticky to amoebic dysentery, Michael Eavis remains upbeat, and has reassured us all that no more rain is forecast, and even - dare we hope - that the sun is on the way.
