Prince Charles arrives at Glastonbury Festival
Prince Charles: Gearing up for Glastonbury
12 April 2012
The Prince of Wales was greeted at the Glastonbury Festival today by founder Michael Eavis.
The prince arrived at 900-acre Worthy Farm, in Pilton, Somerset, to mark the festival's 40th anniversary.
Mr Eavis, 74, accompanied the prince, who was also visiting in his capacity as president of Wateraid, one of the main beneficiaries of the festival's fundraising efforts.
After visiting a housing development in Pilton, where a commemorative tree was planted, Charles's first stop within the festival grounds was the Greenpeace field.
He was greeted by Greenpeace executive director John Sauven and given a tour of the enclosure's stalls.
