The very first Glastonbury festival took place on September 19, 1970 - poignantly a day after Jimi Hendrix died. 34-year-old dairy farmer Michael Eavis was inspired to put on his own event after visiting the Blues Festival in Bath a year earlier. The one day extravaganza was attended by 1,500 people who each paid £1 a ticket - the price poignantly included free milk from the farm. Headlined by Marc Bolan's Tyrannosaurus Rex, other performers included Keith Christmas and Al Stewart.
