The festival organiser joined in after previous fans of the festival flocked to share their #glastophoto on Twitter after news of the cancellation of the event's 50th anniversary.
Emily Eavis has joined in to share her Glastonbury memory after fans began taking part in a #glastophoto challenge.
The 50th anniversary of the festival was cancelled due to the coronavirus, but the call went out on social media for previous attendees of the festival to share their memories on social media.
Now, organiser and daughter of festival founder Michael Eavis has responded to all of the images, writing: "Really enjoying seeing everyone’s festival memories today, not sure who started it but here’s mine."

An Ed Sheeran fan showed-off the plectrum he managed to nab after 16 hours of standing and waiting at the Pyramid Stage.
Now that's dedication!

And how could you have a Glastonbury photo challenge, without a snap of the iconic Arcadia spider?
Someone even shared some pretty wet pics from 1998.
