The pop star draws a huge crowd to the Pyramid Stage, for a midday singalong to his greatest hits.
Forget Glastonbury, today Worthy Farm became Rick Astonbury.
"If we get the smallest audience on the 12 o'clock slot that Glastonbury's ever seen, I'm still OK with that," he told entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson. Mother and daughter Penny and Corrie Wheeler reserved their places even earlier, at 07:30, and were determined to stay put until Guns N' Roses play their headline set."I've seen him quite a few times," added Mark Old, who was watching with his wife. "He's got a really cool, smooth voice and he's a fantastic performer."Astley took to the stage shortly after midday to the sound of the Star Wars theme, before launching into a disco-fied version Together Forever.
When he reached the final refrain of "I just want to tell you how I'm feeling", he ad-libbed: "Glastonbury, I'm feeling fantastic, thanks to you." For more than a decade, he lived in Richmond, raising his young daughter while his wife worked as a film producer.
