These are all amazing.
Ok, so you were probably more excited about Radiohead, or Stormzy, or even Jeremy Corbyn. But the flags of Glastonbury are an annual tradition, with festival goers spending incredible amounts of time, effort and money in the hope of getting Jo Whiley to give them a quick shout-out on TV.
And this year did not disappoint. Glastonbury 2017’s flag game was particularly strong, and here are some of our favourites.

An important event that needs to be immortalised in flag-form.
