A man in his 50s has been found dead in a portable toilet in the VIP area at Glastonbury Festival.

The body was discovered by officers shortly after 9am today, Avon and Somerset Police said.

A distraught woman, staying in the backstage area between the Pyramid and Other stages, was seen being comforted by officers this morning.

Detectives have yet to establish the cause of his death, a source said.

A police cordon, guarded by at least eight officers, was put up around the backstage shower and toilet area.

The camping area where festival production teams and some performers stay was also blocked off.
