Country singer Dolly Parton sent the crowds wild when she headlined the Pyramid Stage on Sunday evening.
The sun came out as the American songstress took to the stage in an impressively sparkly silver outfit, and opened her set with a flawless rendition of Burnin' Love.
The singer flicked her heavily-backcombed mop as she drifted into a version of Alicia Keys' hit single, Girl on Fire
"Howdy! How are ya?" Dolly asked the crowd when she finished.

"It's such an honor and such a thrill to be here. I've been waiting a lifetime for this."
Dolly, 68, then went burst into an energetic rendition of Jolene, before performing her new single, Blue Smoke.
In between hits, Dolly told her fans little stories about her life, her lovers and her music.
The country singer then whipped out a saxophone and performed a short solo for the crowd.

"I wanted to do something special for ya'll," she said.
But Dolly topped her saxy performance by writing a song especially for Glastonbury.
"We just can't get enough of the mud and the music," she screeched.
Dolly then moved on to sing 9-5, and was delighted to hear the audience singing back to her.

"It's always been my dream to sing to people like you," she said.
Then she brought Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora on stage for her encore - and the duo sang Lay Your Hands on Me.
Dolly finished her set with her classic, I Will Always Love You.
Earlier in the day, Dolly, who was clearly excited about her headline gig tweeted: "It’s almost that time! We’re about to go LIVE at @Glastofest, and you can watch my performance right here! :)"
