Renewing vows at Glastonbury Festival was 'special'

Martin and Bruce Cabble-Reid celebrated 10 years of marriage at Glastonbury Festival at a walk-in ceremony

A couple have declared "their love for each other" at one of the many hand-tying ceremonies at Glastonbury Festival.

Martin and Bruce Cabble-Reid marked their 10-year wedding anniversary by sharing a ceremony in the Healing Fields at Worthy Farm.

They told the Inside Glastonbury series on BBC Sounds: "It was emotional but we just thought, it's Glastonbury Festival - let's just do it!"

Hand-tying is not a legal form of marriage and is a spiritual ritual between couples conducted by a celebrant.

Handfasting ceremonies were popular at the festival for many years but due to the length of time the full ritual takes, many celebrants opted for hand-tying instead.

Hand-tying is described as the act of tying the hands and is a standalone ritual with or without spirituality and takes less time.

Glenda Procter, from Cloud9 Ceremonies, has been a celebrant for 18 years.

She said: "Here at Glastonbury, so many people want to be hand-tied and married.

"We now have an option for walk-in ceremonies.

"Love is all around us at this amazing festival and it's a pleasure to make people happy."

Mr and Mr Cabble-Reid said: "It was emotional - she told us to look into each other's eyes and say how we felt about one another.

"I don't think we've ever done that in 10 years and that just made me well up.

"We just said to each other that we appreciate everything we do for each other.

"These fields have got a special vibe."
