A rock 'n' roll granny died at Glastonbury Festival after returning to the event for the tenth time.



Angela D'Arcy, 66, travelled to the festival with her family last week, but passed away on Thursday before it officially got underway.



The former school cook from Hackenthorpe, South Yorks., suffered health problems and died from natural causes.



Her family said they had been inundated with tributes, and they asked for mourners attending her funeral to wear bright colours.



Angela's husband Sean said they had been at the festival with a group of around 15 to 20 people including their daughter Gabriella.



Mum-of-three Angela, who had one-grandchild, suffered from a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which affects the lungs and causes breathing difficulties.



She suffered problems breathing and despite the efforts of medical staff at the festival, they were unable to save her.



The cause of death is still being investigated. Angela attended her first Glastonbury festival in 1999 and became a regular festival-goer - meeting Manchester United star Wayne Rooney at the event in 2011.



Her son Luke said: "She had a big love for music and a love of fun. She was just a person that was full of fun.



"She went to her first Glastonbury in 1999 and never looked back.”

He said despite her medical problems, his mum lived a full life and had many friends.



"We have had a lot of messages and I think it is going to be a really big turnout for the funeral," Luke said.



He said the family were grateful to Glastonbury stewards and medical staff who tried to save Angela.



The family are now trying to locate her wedding ring after it was lost at the site following her jewellery being taken off.



Angela’s funeral took place at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes today.
