Kate Moss joined the growing crowd of celebrities at Glastonbury last night .

The 34-year-old supermodel braved the rain and mud to support her boyfriend, The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, as he took to the stage to perform.

Surrounded by a huge entourage of bodyguards she was joined by singer Lily Allen as she made her way through the festival to take up her place backstage.

She was wearing a pair of Wellington boots as the rain began to thrash down once again at 7pm.

Organisers went to great lengths to ensure the pair wouldn't bump into Kate's ex Pete Doherty, who performed a solo show at the event later in the night.

The men were given stages at opposite ends of the site to avoid any clashes.

Moss is a regular visitor to Glastonbury and attended the event twice with Doherty.

Meanwhile revellers battled on through the mud as the Festival continued.

Intermittent showers saw the return of the infamous Glastonbury slop - making navigating the site at Worthy Farm, Pilton, in Somerset, a real chore.

But 180,000 people at the festival - including ticket holders and staff - refused to let the swamp-like conditions and dank weather get the better of them.

The weather is set to continue as it has been - fairly calm with only occasional light showers and drizzle predicted.

Tom Knowles, 27, a retail manager, from Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, said: 'Every time the heavens opened, I felt a little down. I kept thinking "oh God is this it" but it kept clearing after 10, 15 minutes tops.

'The bands I saw were incredible. I love MGMT on the John Peel Stage - definitely a highlight.'

Gareth Harvey, forecaster for MeteoGroup UK, the weather division of the Press Association, said there was even a strong chance of sunshine later today.

Temperatures should remain around the 19C to 20C mark, accompanied by a fairly brisk wind.

Tonight's line-up is one of the most controversial in a long time.

New York rapper Jay-Z will take to the stage tonight for one of the most talked about headliners at Glastonbury Festival in years.

Many - including Oasis' Noel Gallagher - have spoken out against festival founder Michael Eavis' decision to give the world-famous hip-hop artist the premier Saturday night top slot on the Pyramid Stage.

But others have welcomed the move - calling it progressive and exciting - taken by Eavis to entice a younger audience to the 38-year-old festival.

Avon and Somerset Police said crime was up on last year - with 266 reported crimes - compared with 75 incidents at this stage in 2007.
Excluding drugs, this is 219 offences compared to 53 in 2007.

Theft from tents remains the major non-drug related crime at the festival with 179 reports, compared to 31 at this stage in 2007.

The majority of these offences were in the period of Wednesday night to Thursday afternoon - with only a small increase since then.

Arrests now number 100, compared to 118 in 2007.

Sgt Carolyn Crocker said: "We are continuing to work closely with security at the festival to educate festival goers about the dangers of leaving valuables in their tents and using the free lock ups the organisers provide.

"Overall, the festival remains very safe with no reported robberies and only a small number of other offences.

"Our message to everyone on site is enjoy the event, but be aware of the amount of people now at Glastonbury and the potential of becoming a victim of crime.

"Common sense will go a log way to ensuring you remember the festival for all the right reasons."
