High-flying paraglider Tom McMeakin of Sky Riders, a new paragliding and paramotoring school in the South West, got a sneak-peak of the festival site when he made a fly-by in May.

The sky-high perspective of the 900 acres at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset saw the Pyramid stage, which had its roof put on in May, and the iconic ribbon tower yet to have its bright decoration applied.

Tom, Chief Flight Instructor at the newly-opened Sky Riders Paragliding and Paramotor School, said: "I was flying at around 1000 ft and you could clearly see activity across the whole of the Glastonbury site. Some of the permanent features were looking bare and slowly getting their coverages / facades to bring the Glastonbury magic."
