Yes to Heidi plaits, no to feathers in hats

Remain

Billy Bragg

Uncle Bill nailed the mood in the Left Field with a passionate set of pop politics and emotion. Vote Bragg!

Dungaree or dungadont?

Dungarees were the go-to unisex look of the festival. Strapping!

Buddha bowls

The ultimate festival food truck: carrots, kimchi, brown rice, halloumi and organic omega seed sprinkles. Mmmmm, om.

Dunlop wellies

Who needs £90 Hunters?

Purple rain

From Alexis Hot Chip’s storming DJ set, to covers from Jess Glynne, Christine and the Queens and Blossoms, Glastonbury finally had its Prince moment.

Calorie offsetting

Cider and chips, wading through the mud = a well-fed weekend workout. New glutes all round!

Heidi-ing

The double plait + floral dress combo. You couldn’t move for this look when the sun came out.

Getting Ziggy with it

A giant freaky Bowie puppet sat on someone’s shoulders for the whole weekend! Amazing commitment.

Inflatable flamingos

Out of the pools and into the mud … a tropical touch to the west country.

Glitter casts

A broken arm can’t stop the glam.

The Smyths

A massive afternoon singalong to Fake Morrissey and the gang – please, please can we get what we want and have the real thing?

Flagging spirits

“God hates flags” and “Flaggy McFlagface” win the meta-flag stakes.

Follow the tyre track road!

Sometimes the only way through the mud is to follow a tractor.

Sofa, so good

The best way to chillax while watching a band? We loved the couple who brought an inflatable sofa.

Protoje

Upped the singalong stakes with his reggae anthem Who Knows? After this weekend, who does bloody know?

Guardian’s Blind Date’s couple

Zomg! (See page 11)

We’re with the Miliband!

Corbyn cancelled. McDonnell pulled out at the last minute. Up stepped Ed.

Leave

Most festival man?

The medieval court jester watching Art Garfunkel. Keeping it real, 1432-style.

Bluebeards

Dyed facial hair: the wacky weekend look that won’t die out.

Rumour mill

“Corbyn has cancelled” is this year’s “secret Radiohead gig”.

Glitterati

Glitter on cheekbones? Overexposed!

Tinder trap

How many exes can you bump into in one field in Somerset? Awks.

“The path’s gone a bit Campbell’s”

Glasto vernacular on day two: the only way to describe the ground’s soupy consistency. By day three it was a broth.

Glastrophising

Catastrophising, Glastonbury style: “It’s never going to stop raining!” “The mud is the worst it’s ever been!” “Brexit has ruined everything!” “Trump is next!”

Bernard Sumner’s “drunk dad at a wedding” dancing

Never change, Barney.

Winnebago white

The festival’s most high status colour to wear. Because you can only wear white if you’re in a Winnebago.

Game Of Thrones outfits

Get cape, wear cape – why?

Top hats with feathers
