11 of Glastonbury's muddiest moments

Sadly, the forecast for the forthcoming Glastonbury Festival weekend screams storms and heavy showers.

As BBC Weather claims it'll be "generally unsettled" with a risk of "thundery downpours", it's feared that if current forecasts are correct, Worthy Farm could turn into a mudbath reminiscent of the rainy scenes back in 2011.

And 2009. Oh, and 2007, 2005, 1998... and don't forget 1997.

So in preparation for the potential mud slip-sliding that lies ahead, here's 11 glorious muddy moments at Glastonbury below:

1. A festival-goer takes part in a mud wrestling competition at the infamously wet 2007 festival. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

2. Poor old Paul from Middlesbrough takes a mighty tumble straight into the mud at Glastonbury 2011.

3. Tom Wilder from Kent, doesn't let a bit of rain or mud get him down during 2007's event - instead, he throws himself into the festival fun (quite literally) and performs a dramatic slide in the mud.

4. You know things are bad when you resort to washing your face with a can full of beer... One festival-goer emerges victorious from a mud wrestle during Glastonbury 2007.

6. One festival-goer looks like a mud-made zombie as he attempts to play football at Glastonbury in 1998.

8. A couple make the most of a very muddy situation in 1997.

9. You can barely see the people for the mud at the festival in 1998.

10. Some people pay a lot of money for a mud spa treatment, but Andy and Liz from Yorkshire are able to enjoy one for free at Glastonbury 2005.
