Glastonbury: are you in the no?

I decided to give Glastonbury a miss this year, but it looks like everyone currently stuck in a seven-hour tailback in the car park had a rollickin' good time. Not just because of the sunshine or Blur's barnstorming set last night (slightly jealous I missed that), but the Greenpeace field was once again a marvel to behold.

With a replica of Sipson village - which will be obliterated by a third runway at Heathrow -  and an out-of-control tower, it brought out Airplot campaign into the heart of Somerset, complete with a Big No' made from visitors to the field.

Thanks to the team from green.tv who were also at the festival with their cameras, the visual record below has been made for posterity, which features lots of very happy, very sunny people giving new runways the big thumbs down.

Update: I've just put a whole bunch of snapshots up as well.
