In pictures: Glastonbury welcomes first muddy arrivals

It wouldn't be Glastonbury without mud, rain and traffic - but people arriving at the site in Somerset have refused to get bogged down.

Some ticket-holders have been stuck in queues of up to 12 hours after traffic chaos hit all major routes to the site in Shepton Mallet.

More than 100,000 people are due to descend on Worthy Farm for the event, which has already turned into a mudbath.

The gates at Worthy Farm officially opened at 08:00 BST on Wednesday

It's all smiles as the crowds get through the doors

Forecasters say it is expected to dry up a bit later

Heavy rain overnight has made the site very muddy

Music fans are expected to arrive in their thousands

Paige Kelly made it all the way from Liverpool

Wellies and rain macs are the order of the day...

...but some are choosing to look on the bright side

And there are still some green patches on which to pitch up a tent
