Glastonbury 2016 has got off to a miserable start, with heavy rain causing traffic mayhem for those attempting to make their way to the festival. Those who have arrived at Worthy Farm face a long slog through mud that will only get worse as it is churned up by tens of thousands of boots and trolleys laden with booze.
