As the festival entered its final day, Guardian photographer David Levene was up in a cherry picker to catch the crowds as they partied into the night in Shangri-La in the south-east corner of the site.
The hugely imaginative space is like a vast open-air art gallery, presenting satirical, anti-authoritarian, anticapitalist visual art alongside high-energy DJ sets and punkish live shows – set amid repurposed buses, Tube trains and more.
England’s progress in the Euros feels a world away here at Glastonbury, but there were plenty of fans on site determined to watch the game and show their support for the lads.

Paloma Faith was third up on the Pyramid stage, just after lunchtime.

Shania Twain brought country and camp, and was the biggest draw of the afternoon on the Pyramid stage.

But amid all the quality music, the football understandably continued to be a distraction for many festival goers.

Later on, David Levene was granted exclusive stage access to photograph Burna Boy’s Pyramid stage show.

Our photographer Alecsandra found a position high up the hill facing the Pyramid stage, and met fans waiting for SZA’s festival-closing performance.

Another Guardian photographer, Jonny Weeks, was over at the Other stage photographing the final performance there: the National.

And finally, SZA closed out three nights of magnificently high-production Pyramid stage action, with a fantasia blending natural and technological imagery, a half-toppled tree – and a fair bit of twerking.
