Glastonbury's second day has got off to a drier start – with police saying crime remains at record lows.
According to Avon And Somerset Police, total reported crime – excluding drug offences – now stands at 36, down from 74 crimes at this stage last year, a reduction of 51 per cent. Arrests stand at 66, compared to 83 at this time last year.
Police also say that a man has died at the festival. Emergency services were called to one of the camping fields after a report of a man being taken ill. After being treated by ambulance staff he was taken to a nearby medical centre, but was pronounced dead at 8pm (June 24). The death is not being treated as suspicious.
Saturday’s line-up includes performances from Coldplay, Razorlight and New Order.
