The Rolling Stones pulled off a blinding two hour set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, starting with Jumpin Jack Flash and ending with Satisfaction with other classics such as Paint It Black, Wild Horses, You Cant Always Get What You Want, Brown Sugar and 2000 Light Years From Home. 2.5 million watched on BBC2 and organisers said the Pyramid Stage had the biggest crowd in the history of the 43 year old event and the arena had been expanded to meet the expected demand. The Other Pyramid Stage headliners were the Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons both of whom received ecstatic receptions,and headiners on other stages included Portishead, Chase & Status, Bobby Womack and The XX. Special guests included Beady Eye, Damn Albarn and FatBoy Slim. Organiser and farmer Michael Eavis said the two-hour performance - complete with fireworks and a burning phoenix on top of the stage - was worth the wait. He claimed it was his highlight of his time running the festival, which was first held in 1970.

As a treat to the 100,000 plus Pyramid crowd Mick Jagger had reworded Factory Girl as Glastonbury Girl  but a festival-going couple welcomed the arrival of their very own Glastonbury Girl on-site.  Heidi Wesson and Sean Crothers's daughter was born in the Ivy Mead medical centre centre on Worthy Farm – and they then decided to call the baby Ivy."
