Gates for the four-day festival opened at 8am to allow the first of the expected 135,0000 people to pitch their tents.

There were traffic jams by 10am on the A361 and the A37 towards Worthy Farm, Pilton in Somerset, with longer delays expected for the next 24 hours.

Edwina Elkington, 19, and Emma Dudlke, 18, left, both from London, were among the 60,000 to arrive today, making good use of wheelbarrows to carry their gear the long way to the campsite.

The weather forecast for the weekend is mixed, with today and tomorrow's sunshine set to turn to heavy rain, possibly even thunderstorms on Friday.

The chance of rain over the rest of the festival is slim with temperatures remaining in the twenties.

The festival officially opens tomorrow night. The headliners will be Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and a reformed Blur finishing the festival off on Sunday.

Other acts appearing include Doves, Lily Allen, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, the Ting Tings and Status Quo, Little Boots and Jarvis Cocker.
