The doors to this year's Glastonbury opened today - at the same time as the heavens.

Hundreds of revellers arrived at the Somerset site to be greeted by a downpour and a mudbath.

Wellies and waterproofs were the order of the day as music lovers began to set up camp.

And the outlook's unsettled for the remainder of the festival, which officially begins on Friday.

Forecasters predict heavy showers and thunder tomorrow, a drier day on Friday, light showers on Saturday before the sun comes out on Sunday.

This year's headliners include U2 and Beyonce.

Meanwhile at Wimbledon it was a wash out for the second time in three days.
