The 53-year-old singer drew massive crowds to hear two hours of classic hits such as Life On Mars and Changes which have marked his thirty-year career. He told the crowd, who jammed into every available space with a view for 500 metres around the stage: "We're having a ball. This is so good. It's great."

Although there were showers on Friday afternoon, not a drop of rain fell for the rest of the weekend. This was a welcome change for festival-goers who have had to endure torrents of rain and fields of mud for the past three years.

Highlights included Moby, Travis, the Chemical Brothers, reggae legend Horace Andy and The Happy Mondays, who looked flummoxed when a naked female ran on stage.

For many visitors, however, the main attraction was basking in the sun watching the extraordinary variety of performers, exhibitionists, showmen and products that Glastonbury always attracts.

Despite more than 1,000 tents being broken into, police said they were happy with the way things had gone, and added that arrests were of "a better quality" than last year.
