Among all this Brexit doom gloom and economic implosion, don't you just wish you were at Glastonbury?

We at indy100 certainly do - it's seems like a lot more of an inclusive, optimistic, fun place than the UK that just voted.

Anyway, Glastonbury's official Twitter account posted a photo of a poem put up on a board at the festival, written by one Jodi Bickley.

People are retweeting and sharing it in their thousands to express regret at the result.

It begins:

Everyone is repeating they have no words,
But we’re all full of them.
As the camp wakes up to the news,
Tents come alive with profanity,
It can’t be true, can it, really?
It is.

The poem then implores festival-goers not just to stage protests, but to embrace a community spirit as an antithesis to the 'Leave' vote.
