Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis today said that the world renowned music extravaganza “just keeps getting better”.

On the last day of the three-day event, the smiling dairy farmer, who allows 150,000 music lovers on his land at Worthy Farm in Somerset each summer, said his highlight, so far, was Paul McCartney.

He summed up the festival saying: “It keeps getting better all the time … I really enjoyed myself.”

McCartney, who headlined on the main pyramid stage last night dazzled the crowd and Mr Eavis said McCartney “won the day”.

“He was so good and was so into it, “ he said.

He said the former Beatle gave him a big hug and kissed him after the performance described by Eavis as “one of the best acts he’d ever seen”.

Friday’s main act, Oasis, however, did not live up to Eavis’ expectations.

He said: “I’m an Oasis fan. I thought it was a good set but the two of them looked a bit grumpy and didn’t talk to the audience at all. In that sense I was a bit disappointed.”
