There were the best, and funniest, flags at Glastonbury 2017

Festival goers can be so creative.

These are all amazing – Glastonbury 2017, we’re going to miss you.

Glastonbury 2017’s flag game was particularly strong, and here are some of our favourites.

OK, so you were probably more excited about Radiohead, or Stormzy, or even Jeremy Corbyn. But the flags of Glastonbury are an annual tradition, with festival-goers spending incredible amounts of time, effort and money in the hope of getting Jo Whiley to give them a quick shout-out on TV.

And this year did not disappoint.

Arsenal fans can be terrible everywhere, even in a field.

“My mate was on The Chase”

An important event that needs to be immortalised in flag-form.

“Gary Lineker shags crisps”

No comment.

Just perfect.

But some people are never happy.
