Enough of Brexit: Brits party and roll in the mud at Glastonbury

Glastonbury, UK

AS weary Glastonbury fans extricated their tents and cars from the ankle-deep mud on Monday morning, they could at least bathe in the glow of a "Best of British" music festival that did something to dispel their gloom at seeing fellow Britons vote to leave the EU.

Although Glastonbury, held at a dairy farm in Somerset, south-western England, is well-known for its wet and muddy conditions, this year's festival was particularly soggy, with rain falling every day of the event. With some car parks flooded, many of those departing had to get local farmers to come and help tow vehicles away - for a fee.
