Deluge fails to dampen Glastonbury spirits

More than 100,000 festival goers were recovering from a drenching at Glastonbury today after two inches ofrain fell in three hours in the early hours.

Torrents of water poured through the 1,000 acre site during the massive thunderstorms and the start of performances on the main stages were delayed as technicians carried out a major clean up operation to ensure the power supplies were safe.
