The lucky winner won two full festival passes to Summer Sundae Weekender 2006. Thanks to everyone who voted and sent comments in. Here are some of them but feel free to send more via the form below.

The closing act should be Radiohead. This festival was an absolute quagmire with rain before and during, and we considered going home on the Saturday morning. Encrusted with mud and a little tipsy I suddenly heard My Iron Lung that sent the biggest tingles down my back. The outlying moment was when the lights where turned on us and I have never felt a more natural high than this. Thank you Radiohead for changing my life. (Christopher from Manchester)

The closing act should be Radiohead. As I missed it I want to recreate the scene by soaking my garden in gallons of water and wallow around in the mud naked with the radio perched on the birdtable. Who cares what the neighbours think. (Jamie from Leicester)

The closing act should be Radiohead. I was absolutely dumbstruck after seeing this and it took me weeks to come down. (Shaun from Liverpool)  

The closing act should be Radiohead at Glasto, a performance so good that only Radiohead themselves have got close to bettering. Or possibly The Chemical Brothers but a small section of my judgement may have been Tequila influenced for that one... (Ed from Cambridge)

The closing act should be Radiohead.  I heard this (introduced by John Peel, if memory serves) broadcast on Radio 1.  I had the headphones on and the lights off and I remember the emotion made me weep a little.  The huge, yet lonely sound fitted the event perfectly.  And I wasn't even that much of a fan! (Laura from Manchester)

The closing act should be Radiohead. It was my first Glastonbury. The journey from Bognor Regis took us 9 hours, we camped where we fell at 2 am on the Friday morning and it was raining.  I wore a bin bag skirt with a kagoul and the site was a quagmire.  But everything was worth it because of this set by Radiohead.  They made everyone forget that they were covered in mud and took them to somewhere beautiful. (Felicity from Bognor Regis)
