She wrote on Instagram alongside the picture: ‘Gates are OPEN… Welcome everyone to Glastonbury 2022!’Speaking to Lauren Laverne on 6 Music, she said: ‘I mean, I’m still recovering because the build up has just been so long, we’ve never had a build up as long as this, obviously.
‘Everyone is appreciating it so, so much… everyone is just still beaming because they are so pleased, everyone is so chuffed to be back so it’s a totally unique atmosphere, I just can’t wait to get everyone in here.’ For those who have travelled to the festival’s nearest railway station, Castle Cary, current travel estimates at 7am today anticipated a 28-minute journey to the site.
