Closing day of Glastonbury is well underway, and the rain has been set at 'fine trickle' since about 2am. Today will see Dame Shirley Bassey do her big numbers on the Pyramid Stage - on a Sunday billing that also includes Manic Street Preachers, Kaiser Chiefs and The Who, who are straight on to the site from headlining Knowsley Hall up in Liverpool last night.

John Fogerty has just played the Glastonbury Jazz/ World Stage (June 23), only his second show in the UK since 1972. Coming on to massive applause and cheering, Fogerty looked very pleased to be here, saying: " It's beautiful to be here at Glastonbury. I'm so happy to be in England again.

Just watched a magnificent sunset go down over Glastonbury, the skies have finally cleared enough to see the burning orange. Rufus Wainwright put in a magnificent set, with a little help from sister Martha at the end for 'Hallelujah.'

Super Furry Animals's just finished a brilliant set, and the sun looks like it's back for a while, woo hoo. "Juxtapose With You" was simply amazing - lots of silly dancing and flag waving from the audience. I even spot a sun-caught Howard Marks singing along to the poptastic moment in the sun.
