Glastonbury organisers reckon nearly 25,000 festival goers are already at or close to the Festival site in Somerset – with a total of 150,000 expected to be there when the Festival official starts tomorrow.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said there had been no problems so far: "A lot of people are coming on site and pitching their tents in a good spot and then leaving the site again. There's a lot of coming and going."
That said, organisers are very prepared. With around 750 uniformed police and support staff on site, police have mounted the largest ever security operation at the festival, including extra CCTV. A help-point has also been set up in the village to give locals a point of contact for any complaints or worries.
Chief Superintendent Mark Thompson said: "Resources for this year's operation have considerably increased and we are hoping to build on the excellent results of last year. Last year saw a serious reduction in the amount of crime within the festival site and a lot of effort has been focused on mirroring this outside of the site. We are doing everything we can to make the festival as safe as possible for everybody attending to enjoy."
