Royal fans claim they spotted Queen Elizabeth at Glastonbury Festival

<p>Royal fans have hilariously claimed they spotted Queen Elizabeth in the crowd at the annual Glastonbury Festival.</p> <p>Glastonbury is a five-day festival that takes place in Somerset, England, with this year featuring artists such as Diana Ross, Glass Animals, Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and many more. </p> <p>During Robert Plant's performance on the final night of the festival, spectators thought they saw a familiar face in the crowd that looked very similar to Queen Elizabeth. </p> <p>The woman, who is most definitely not the Queen, wore a jacket with a hood up and sunglasses and bore a striking resemblance to Her Majesty. </p> <p>The three second clip of the Queen's doppelganger has been making the rounds on Twitter and has since gone viral.</p> <p>It was shared by royal fan Andy on Twitter along with the caption, "Lovely to see the Queen enjoying a bit of Robert Plant at #Glastonbury."</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lovely to see the Queen enjoying a bit of Robert Plant at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Glastonbury?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Glastonbury</a>. <a href="https://t.co/Ra4jyNz9lZ">pic.twitter.com/Ra4jyNz9lZ</a></p> <p>— Andy (@alreadytaken74) <a href="https://twitter.com/alreadytaken74/status/1540427529705627653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2022</a></p></blockquote> <p>"Classic Liz," one person responded. </p> <p>It is, of course, extremely unlikely that Her Majesty would be in the Glastonbury crowd, considering the fact that her currently health condition has prevented her from attending many recent official engagements. </p> <p>The monarch recently celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the British throne.</p> <p>Increasing mobility issues meant she was unable to attend most engagements but any appearance she did make was appreciated by royal fans.</p> <p><em>Image credits: Twitter / Getty Images</em></p>

Lionel Richie draws biggest crowd at Glastonbury music festival

<p>Lionel Richie has drawn the biggest crowd at this year's Glastonbury Festival, with at least 100,000 fans believed to have watched the singer croon his hits.</p> <p>The 66-year-old former Commodores frontman certainly showed younger performers how it’s done with an energetic set at one of the largest music festivals in the world. Bouncing around the stage in front of an adoring crowd, Ritchie belted out classics like <em>Dancing on the Ceiling, Hello, Say You Say Me, All Night Long</em> and<em> Easy Like Sunday Morning.</em></p> <p>It’s only fitting that Richie followed in the footsteps of other music icons like Dolly Parton, Tom Jones and Neil Diamond by performing at the festival's traditional Sunday afternoon “legend” slot. Fans are already saying he will be remembered as one of Glastonbury’s best highlights. Festival organisers even suggested Richie’s performance might have drawn the field’s 120,000 capacity.</p> <p>Even Richie was astounded with the mammoth crowd size, repeatedly saying: "What the hell is going on?"</p> <p>But if you watch the video above of Riche’s performance of <em>Dancing On The Ceiling</em>, you’ll understand what’s going on: everyone simple wants to see the legend in action.</p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2015/06/singing-fights-off-dementia/">Singing show tunes helps fight off dementia, says study</a></strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2015/06/music-causes-car-accidents/">Listening to music while driving linked to car accidents</a></strong></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/news/news/2015/06/book-answers-body-questions/">The real cause of brain freeze, plus other weird body phenomena explained</a></strong></em></span></p>
