Fourteen more people have been arrested and 38 crimes have been committed on the second day of Glastonbury Festival, police have confirmed. It comes as the event is only just warming up, with the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Neil Young, The 1975 and more set to perform over the next few days.

SomersetLive has seen some great costumes so far this week.

Nestled in between the Unfairground and Shangri-La lies a space where one can find some much-needed shade from the baking sunshine—or to put it in recent perspective, protect you from torrential showers.
