Jamie Carragher leads 'army of Scousers' at Glastonbury

Jamie Carragher and an "army" of other Scousers have been spotted at Glastonbury Festival.

Worthy Farm has been "taken over" by music fans from Liverpool according to posts on social media. Hundreds of thousands of people attend the huge event each year, if they're lucky enough to get tickets, with people coming from all over the UK and even further afield.

And many in the crowd are from Merseyside.

LFC legend Jamie Carragher shared a photo of himself and friends at the famous farm on Friday afternoon after arriving at the festival on Thursday. He has since posted snaps of himself and wife Nicola enjoying the major event.

To say he isn't the only Scouser there would be an understatement, with many people from Liverpool loving the festival. It hardly comes as a surprise, with the city's affinity for all things music, and according to social media Worthy Farm is currently "80% Scousers".

On Twitter, Lydia said: "Glasto is an army of Scousers right now and we love to see it", while Jacob said: "First time at Glasto and it's quite unbelievable how many Scousers are here" [sic].

Matt said: "Every second accent" was Scouse and Jake said: "Scousers have taken over Glastonbury". Laurel said: "I swear Glastonbury is 80% Scousers".

And of course, people from Liverpool aren't just found watching the acts. The Lightning Seeds performed for thousands on Friday afternoon, with local legend Jamie Webster having his debut performance this evening too.

Jamie said: "I’ve been here three times a punter so I've been on this side of the fence plenty of times before, but last year was my first time playing. Every time you come back you get a little bit more attached to it.
