Glastonbury revellers have been pictured inhaling balloons of laughing gas as they prepare to bask in a 91F heatwave as this year's festival gets underway.
Thousands of music lovers arrived at the Somerset farm yesterday before watching fireworks to celebrate the opening night.
The five-day event, which is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world, will be headlined by Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure. Standard tickets for Glastonbury 2019 sold out in just 36 minutes.

It is also set to be the hottest ever Glastonbury, with a heatwave sweeping in.
Despite arriving to sodden mud underfoot yesterday, fans will soon be watching their favourite bands while temperatures of up to 86F (30C) beat down on them.
Experts at the Met Office have predicted temperatures could hit record highs for June in the south of the UK - beating the previous record of 96F (35.6C) recorded in Southampton in 1976.
A Met Office forecaster added: 'It's possible we could see that beaten this weekend.'
And last night revellers got the party started with 'hippy crack', as several were pictured inhaling balloons of laughing gas.

This year's revellers are big fans of interesting headgear - one girl donned a purple and yellow head scarf (left) while sipping on a drink from a disco ball glass, while another opted for a very yellow flower crown
