Stormzy made history with an explosive headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2019.

The grime star became the first British rapper to headline the world-famous music festival on Friday 28 June, with a performance that included guest appearances from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and fellow MCs Dave and Fredo.

As expected following an announcement by the BBC, Stormzy’s set was uncensored and included a stand-out line from his single “Vossi Bop”: “F*** the government and f*** Boris.”

Elsewhere, he sampled a speech by Labour MP David Lammy, who responded with a tweet: "Stormzy using his headline spot at #glastonburyfestival2019 to speak out about the injustice of young black kids being criminalised in a biased and disproportionate justice system. Humbled and inspired that he sampled my speech. Salute #Merky."

Stormzy also featured a gospel choir for his song “Blinded By Your Grace”, dance troupes, and a special shout out his fellow artists, from established grime pioneers such as Wiley and Skepta to future stars including AJ Tracey, Ms Banks, Yxng Bane and Stefflon Don.

“This is the greatest night of my entire life. Who’s got energy today?” he asked the thousands of people watching his show.

For his grand finale he closed on “Big For Your Boots”, the track from his Brit Award-winning, record-breaking debut album Gang Signs & Prayer.

Just in from an anonymous source: "The only way to stay cool right now is to drink frozen margaritas."

Obviously drinking plenty of water in between, because we all drink responsibly, DON'T WE.

Alexandra Pollard has just had our first "s**t I lost my ticket... oh wait it's in my bag" panic of the festival. A record, I think.

Reports coming in that Zac Goldsmith's appearance at the Speakers Forum did not go down well.

Protesters interrupted a speech from the Tory MP, and were heard booing and heckling him as he tried to answer questions.

Mr Goldsmith did suggest he be allowed to answer the questions directly, but his answers were met with shouts of "blah blah blah, f***ing bulls**t".
