Following on in our Glastonbury video series, The Raconteurs rocked out on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday afternoon - here’s ‘Salute Your Solution’.

Away from the official stages, The Automatic dropped by NME’s backstage bus and recorded an acoustic version of their new single ‘Steve McQueen’. Rob Hawkins really seems to give it his all to make sure his voice is heard over the sound of the guitars and ambient crowd noise from elsewhere - but still doesn’t bother to put his drink down ;)
The Glastonbury Festival came to an end for another year last night and coaches & cars of bleary-eyed, sleep-deprived music fans will be making their way homeward across Somerset and beyond.
We featured a good few videos from Friday and Saturday yesterday, but for completeness’ sake, here’s a few more from later performances.
Let’s start it nice and mellow, with a little Duffy and ‘Hanging On Too Long’. Love her outfit - reminds me of an ensemble I had (and loved) when I was about 3.
Lily Allen was comforted by long-time friend Mark Ronson and ex-boyfriend, Chemical Brothers’ star Ed Simons at the Glastonbury Festival yesterday after hearing that her paternal grandmother had denied.
Ed was spotted consoling Lily backstage before she joined Mark on The Other Stage to perform their hit ‘Littest Things’.
Just before starting the song, the fading-pink haired singer explained: “You know what? My nanny Allen died last night so, this one’s for you. I love you.”
Lily also revealed that it was 20 years since her first Glastonbury Festival - she made her debut at the event in 1988, aged just three, with parents Keith Allen and Alison Owen.
Kelly Osbourne was three hours late to a Glastonbury party that she was hosting because one of her family’s dogs died.
Kelly’s mum Sharon Osbourne’s beloved dog Minnie, who regularly appeared on the family’s reality show The Osbournes, died over the weekend and a source told the Mirror that Kelly was late for the party at the Orange Chill ‘n’ Charge Tent because: “She’s been on the phone to her mum who is devastated.”
The source added that Kelly was understandably not in the mood to party or schmooze at the event either: “Kelly looked glam in a kaftan-style green dress, but didn’t feel like doing interviews.
“She stayed for as little time as she could then disappeared with her boyfriend.”
Dizzee Rascal has said he thinks it can only be a matter of time before Arctic Monkeys star Alex Turner and T4 presenter Alexa Chung get married.
The couple have been dating since October 2007 and earlier this year, were reported to have bought a house together in East London.
Speaking at the Glastonbury Festival on Friday, Dizzee said: “They are perfect for each other. Whenever I see them they are so close.
“I’m just waiting for my wedding invite now.”
Do you think Katie Price's marriage to Alex Reid will last?
