Glastonbury 2023: Yorkshire locals name their top three dream headliners if they were to host their own festival including Fleetwood Mac, Queen and Dolly Parton

The first Glastonbury festival was held in 1970, a day after Jimi Hendrix died, and was attended by 1,500 people over a two-day period.

This year marks its 53rd anniversary and it has grown exponentially since its first event; more than 200,000 people attended the most recent event.
