The prize quiz

Emily Eavis is the youngest daughter of Glastonbury festival organiser Michael Eavis. Born in Somerset, she grew up on Worthy Farm, using the famous Pyramid Stage as a climbing frame. A happy childhood was spent either hiding from the crowds or collecting autographs of the many stars who came to visit her father for tea. She is now based in London, helping to organise the festival and working to raise the profile of charitable campaigns through music.

Each week, a different guest quizmaster sets five questions per day, Monday to Friday. Send us your answers to all 25 questions at the end of the week and the first correct entry out of the hat will win a £100 electronic gift card from Borders
