Basildon band Depeche Mode kept the crowds entertained at this year's Glastonbury festival - as the event was hailed the best ever by organiser Michael Eavis.
As the event drew to a peaceful close and more than 100,000 ticket-holders gathered at the 1,000 acre Somerset site made their way home, police said there had been only 221 reported crimes up until this morning - a reduction of nearly half on last year's figure.
Mr Eavis said: "After 33 years we have got it right."
