Here's James Hall on the (not so) secret Elbow set from earlier tonight

Mancunian band Elbow were the surprise guests up on The Park stage. There probably isn't a more 'Glastonbury' band in the world: they specialise in communal singalongs, and in singer Guy Garvey have a man who gives his audiences a metaphorical bear hug with his every utterance.

"This place tops up your faith in humanity for another year doesn't it?," he told a crowd that included Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington and his girlfriend Rose 'You know nothing Jon Snow' Leslie.

From coaxing the multitude of flag-carriers to synchronise their waving, to asking people sitting way all up the hill to stand up on command, Garvey had the audience in the palm of his hand.

This year's single 'Magnificent, She Said' was a highlight. The Bones of You, Mirrorball, and Lippy Kids were as bruised and delicate as the sky above.

"Have you got your Glastonbury on?," he asked. "Is this the best stage at the festival? Is this the best festival in the world?" Probably.

Grounds for Divorce was unusually raucous. They ended with One Day Like This, the life-affirming anthem. Sometimes it feels like the band slightly go through the motions when they play this ubiquitous hymn to positivity. Not tonight. It was glorious.
