Why are sunsets and sunrises always so amazing at Glastonbury?

So what was the goss on Saturday? That Keith Allen had got married in one of the fields... until it came through that he'd actually donned the cloth and married a couple instead. Hmm, he's a strange one that man.

So did Barry White materialize during the Pet Shop Boys' set? Nope, but Cerys Matthews guested on one song with them. On the Jazz Stage, Femi Anikulapo Kuti and The Positive Force shook the stage with some fierce Afrobeat business, before Morcheeba finished the night in their own chilled way. Over in the Dance Tent, MJ Cole and Artful Dodger got Saturday night going with some fine UK garage, and on the Other Stage, Leftfield packed out the field with an awesome set.

So how were Travis? Well, it didn't rain for starters. And you couldn't move in the Pyramid Stage arena because it was so rammed. Ten out of ten from Fran for storytelling between songs, and ten out of ten for all the Scots who took over the mosh pit and sung along at top of their voices. And yes, they did do the Britney cover. Travis, we salute you!
