That's it! Glastonbury 2013 is all over, after a truly stunning weekend on Worthy Farm. We're tired, a little hungover and in need of at least a week to recover - but not before we've taken one last look through our highlights from Glastonbury 2013.
True, it got off to a soggy start on Thursday, as we arrived on site to be met with rain, wellies and that unwelcome festival essential - MUD, but after that, it was a blissful weekend at the UK's biggest festival event of the year.
So, before we start looking ahead to what's next on the summer schedule, take one last look back at Glastonbury 2013 - from start to finish...
Unfortunately, Thursday at Glastonbury was a wet affair. But did the campers at Worthy Farm let them stop things getting off to an early start? No chance
And even though the music programming didn't properly get underway until Friday, there were still 'secret' sets on Thursday night from the likes of Alt-J, Django Django and Dry The River
Fortunately on Friday, the weather took a turn for the better, so it was off with the waterproofs - and on with the glitter
Which is just as well because it meant the audience were looking their best for the likes of Foals
Bristol trip-hop legends Portishead proved that the sounds of debut album Dummy were still enough to draw a massive (if chilled out) crowd
Rita Ora danced like this on the Pyramid Stage
We met up with Frightened Rabbit in the backstage area for a chat about fields and beer and bands
And we did the same with Matt from The 1975, but he had had a little to drink by that point
We spoke to Bastille as well - who were happy to model for us
Meanwhile, Solange proved she had the best hair in music
Despite a challenge from Justin Young of The Vaccines
But it all proved too much for some, who had clearly hit it too hard on Thursday night. A rookie mistake
Of course, Friday night belonged to Arctic Monkeys. Their show looked a lot like this
So, in other words, amazing
Kate Moss seemed a little underwhelmed, however
So, by the time Saturday rolled around, it was so warm on Worthy Farm, even the likes of Seasick Steve were topping up their tan
And Saturday was a good day for the ladies at Glastonbury, with AlunaGeorge making their first ever appearance at the festival
And Azealia Banks - who may have her hit '212' but doesn't seem equipped with 20-20 vision
But NO ONE drew more attention to themself than Iggy Azalea
Although Beverley Knight proved she could still kick it with the young kids on the block
The Rolling Stones closed Saturday night - and for first timers at Glasto, they weren't half bad
Yeah. They can come back
Sunday was bloody lovely, the perfect weather to laze off a two-day hangover
Although some of the flags being carted around were of 'questionable' taste
We caught Florence Welch hanging around the toilets
Tom Odell made his Glastonbury debut - on the same day his album Long Way Down hit No.1 in the UK album charts
The xx turned their afternoon 'surprise' set into a moody affair, as only they can
And Sunday was the day of music legends, with Nick Cave bringing some cheer (or not) to Worthy Farm
And Smashing Pumpkins jetting in from the US for their Glasto gig
Mumford & Sons proved worthy equals to Arctic Monkeys and The Rolling Stones in their Sunday night headline slot
And it was great to see Ted Dwane back in action after his recent brain surgery for a blood clot. He seems to have recovered well
See you next year, Worthy Farm!
