The 19 moments you need to know about from Glastonbury 2014

From the lows to the highs (of various kinds).

THE BIGGEST MUSIC festival in these islands is over for another year.

We laughed, we cried, we (literally) hurled. Here are the standout moments:

1. The weather being REALLY bad on the first day

2. So bad in fact that they actually had to stop the festival

It was during Rudimental. Yes, lightning actually struck the stage.

3. And there were unfavourable comments made

4. Arcade Fire turning out to be the Marmite of Glastonbury 2014

They gave a typically eccentric performance, and fans were totally divided.

There was lots of this:

And also lots of this:

5. Michael Fassbender rocking up

And sharing some bro-hugs with bearded dudes.

6. The Pixies trending on Twitter… because so many people thought their drummer looked like serial killer Harold Shipman

7. Someone saying this and accidentally summing up the Glastonbury spirit

8. Noel Gallagher, Lars Ulrich from Metallica and Bradley Cooper hanging out together

14. These hats being for sale

15. Ellie Goulding posting this awe-inspiring photo of the view from the stage on the final day

Bigger than Metallica, bigger than Arcade Fire. Immense.

There was intense debate

But she denies it. A spokesperson told the Mirror:

She sings live. Some people don’t know an amazing singer when they hear one.

18. This utterly perfect moment

19. And the moment the epic cleanup began

This is just SOME of the rubbish.
