Visitors to the official Glastonbury Festival website have voted in favour of “keeping” flags at the Worthy Farm event.

Over 13,000 people cast their opinion on the contentious subject over the past week with 55% (7269 votes) voting to keep the flags compared to the 45% (5909 votes) for banning them.

Despite the result, the poll was only an 'opinion gauger' and was held in the wake of Download Festival banning flags from the main arena of their 2010 site.

Glastonbury said today: “So, it's a narrow win for "keeping". Big thanks to everyone for taking part. As well as the result itself, it's been really useful to get an idea of the passion this debate raises among festival-goers, by reading your comments across the web.”
