Hundreds gathered around a little bandstand at Glastonbury Festival to see a couple bless their marriage today (June 27).

Jack Watney, 32, and Sarah Adey, 31, said 'I do' at The Croissant Neuf bandstand just before midday.

Mr Watney was dressed in a very jazzy suit and Sarah matched him in that regard, in what was an unforgettable moment.

They were joined for around 30 minutes by around 50 guests and hundreds of other festival-goers.

Although it is not possible to have a legal marriage at the Glastonbury as the festival is not a licensed venue, the occasion had all the magic you could wish for.

Somerset Live broke the news that the couple planned to tie the knot at Glasto earlier this month.

Dear friend and officiator, Darren Lambert, told the huge crowd about how the couple, who got engaged at Glastonbury Festival in 2017, got together and other touching anecdotes.

The crowd was then asked to sing along to 'Wouldn't it be nice' by the Beach Boys, which everyone did in a raucous and joyous fashion.

As the excitement grew, Mr Lambert then said those immortal words 'I now pronounce you husband and wife', a huge roar of delight greeted this.

The wedding party then went up to the stone circle to complete the celebrations.

Before the wedding ceremony, Somerset Live spoke to some of the special guests who had been invited to the event.

Gary Jones, a friend of the officiator, said: “It is just an amazing thing to be part of. You can wear your own clothes and you are at Glastonbury Festival.

“We all got the tickets as a big team. We got a load when the tickets were first sold and then we got everyone in on the second go.

“It is incredible that all the family and friends are here. It is just the perfect setting.”

Fellow friend, Jenna Bennett, said: “It is the most beautiful, amazing, gorgeous and exciting thing in the whole world.

“This is like a once in a lifetime event.”

Kath Clements, who used to work with Sarah, said: "It is absolutely thrilling to be here and be part of this.

"It is a real reflection of who they are. They are the sweetest souls. To get 50 people in is amazing. They did it through sheer persistence."

Attendee, Will Markiewicz, added: "What a beautiful place to tie the knot."

In the last couple of years, Jack and Sarah decided to stage a wedding at the festival that they loved so much.

They chose The Croissant Neuf bandstand for the event as they had seen many of their favourite bands there in the past and they loved the look and feel of the area.

They managed to get in contact with the head honchos who run the bandstand and they were happy to allow for the wedding to go ahead and proved to be very helpful too.

But there was one potentially huge hurdle to overcome - how to get 50 guests to attend their celebration at the festival?

"Tickets are notoriously difficult to get for two people, let alone 50," said Jack.

"You can book for a block of six people in one transaction. So we had groups all over the UK, Sweden and Australia doing just that.

"Pretty much all the ones on my side got tickets but a lot of her side and her bridesmaids did not which was a nightmare.

"We got those tickets in October and we had to wait until April to find out if we got them at the second attempt.

"But, somehow, we got them all. It was a huge relief."
