FESTIVAL fans have been enjoying the opening of Glastonbury Festival 2008 to glorious weather.

Around 200,000 revellers have descended onto the festival site and have been soaking up the unqiue atmosphere.

However, at the time of writing, the heavens have opened and festival-goers have been told to prepare for the mires of deep puddles and sticky mud.

Tomorrow, music fans have the likes of the Reverend and the Makers, Panic! At the Disco and Kings of Leon to look forward to.

Although the heavens may have opened, festival-goers remain upbeat.
