  Glastonbury festival gets off to a rainy start
Updated 27 June 2003, 14.13
The Glastonbury festival has already started
Almost 100,000 music fans have arrived at Glastonbury, ready for the start of the three-day music festival.

Heavy showers have fallen on the site at Worthy Farm, near Pilton in Somerset - and umbrella-sellers have been doing well.

Loads of bands including huge names like REM and Radiohead will be wowing the giant crowds over the three days.

The first band - rockers The Darkness - took the stage at 10.50am on Friday.

Amazingly there are another 50,000 people expected on the site over the weekend.

They'll be hoping the weather will be good because the whole place can quickly turn into a giant mudpond, with some musicians having dodge flying mud if they're not up to scratch.

Police at Glastonbury say there's been a big drop in reported crime this year compared to last.
