After meeting the band, Prince Charles went onstage before visiting a nearby Water Aid stall, and was then taken to the Pyramid Stage to meet the crew.

Details of the Prince’s visit were kept secret as nearly 100,000 festival goers made it to the site ahead of the official start of the music, which kicks off tomorrow morning at 11am (BST).
