Festival organisers had asked people not to arrive by car as it was reported two of the main car parks were closed, but by mid-afternoon the gates were fully thrown open again.
Despite the rain and mud - which, quite frankly, Glastonbury just would not be Glastonbury without - people at the festival continue to have fun regardless.
Although there was no official acts playing last night festival goers wasted no time by getting stuck into dancing and partying.
Some donned glow in the dark costumes, and others threw caution to the wind by whipping their tops off to embrace the hippy spirit the festival is famous for.
This morning as people wake up and emerged from their tents into the quagmire, the weather has been mostly dry at the Somerset site.

Temperatures could rise to highs of 19 degrees celsius today, with the sun breaking through the current grey cloud covering.
Despite this promise of a change in weather, plenty of people who did not get tickets to the festival have taken to social media to declare how glad they are to be missing out on the mud and torrential rain.

If the weather does improve, the rain showers are unlikely to leave - the Met Office shows that the chance of thundery showers from Friday afternoon through to Saturday lunchtime are still high, with sunshine on Sunday.
However it looks like the mud is there to stay, as is tradition.
