Captured on camera . . . sights of the last 40 years of Glastonbury Festival

The sights and sounds of the last 40 years of the Glastonbury Festival will be evoked at the Glastonbury 40+ exhibition at the Somerset Rural Life Museum from Saturday.

The exhibition, which runs until September, is an extended version of the show at Millfield School last year.

It features images chosen by Michael Eavis. Seven Somerset photographers whose work is featured, Brian Walker, Ann Cook, Matt Cardy, Anna Barclay, Jason Bryant, Ian Sumner and Steve Roberts, have now added more of their favourites at the exhibition, sponsored by The Somerset Cider Brandy Co Ltd.

One of the additional images by Western Daily Press photographer Steve Roberts shows the Pyramid stage (which later burnt down) in the 1980s, with a sea of fans and distant tents.

The iconic Pyramid has had various incarnations, and a version of the original will appear at this year's Festival.

The seven photographers include Glastonbury-based Brian Walker, who has covered the Festival since the first in 1970.
