Mud for it

This 86-year-old gran just posted a personal message to the Glastonbury Facebook page by mistake… and everyone’s sharing it

She meant to post the caring message on her grandchild's personal page... but THOUSANDS of people saw it

AN adorable nan has gone viral after accidentally sharing a personal message on the Glastonbury Facebook page.

Myra Galloway, from Box in Wiltshire, was trying to post on one of her grandchildren’s pages – but she wrote publicly to thousands of people by mistake.

Hilariously, 86-year-old Myra wrote: “I dint know you were going. Make sure you’ve got your wellies. Enjoy Nan xx,” on the Glastonbury 2016 Facebook event page.

The post was liked by more than 2,300 people and shared by around 60 jokers after its appearance yesterday – before later being deleted.

Thousands of festival-goers reacted to Myra’s kind words, with multiple commenters writing ‘bless her’.

The page is full of people trying to sell their tickets, checking on traffic, panicking about travel arrangements and posting pictures of them on route or already at the site.

But the caring post bought some sunshine to a day of gloom and doom, after last night’s heavy downpour and the resulting flooding.

A day of train cancellations and road closures has left some struggling to reach the Somerset site in time for the music, comedy and theatre.

One thing’s for sure, it’s going to be a muddy one.

Glastonbury was already a sludge bath before festival goers arrived yesterday, and the ground is slowly getting more and more flooded.

Some 180,000 revellers battled through the mud as they arrived at Glastonbury for the first official night yesterday.

So here’s hoping the message made its way to the desired recipient – and Myra’s grandchild remembered to pack their wellies!

Apparently, swingers are planning to get down and dirty at Glastonbury - and are heading to the iconic music festival today.

Keen to evoke the spirit of the swinging sixties, some revellers have already scheduled some no-strings casual sex as part of the experience.

Website such as Fabswingers lists people looking for fun or inviting others to join them with the promise of a shower and the comfort of a campervan.

But nobody tell Myra - we don't want to worry her!
