Woman jumps onto passengers lap to watch Paul McCartneys Glasto set from plane

Paul McCartney's headline slot was enjoyed by thousands of people at Glastonbury on Saturday [June 26] – but it appears fans in the air also got in on the action.

One woman has revealed that during her flight home from Tenerife to Bristol, she managed to catch the magical light show from thousands of feet above Worthy Farm.

During the historic set that saw him crowned the oldest ever solo artist to headline, The Beatles rocker "reunited" with his late bandmate, John Lennon, 42 years after his death.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Lianne Payne said: "My husband was sat behind me and he spotted it first and I was wondering if we would fly over it [Glastonbury]."

She added: "The seatbelt sign hadn't long gone on but I leaned into a woman's lap basically to get a video of Glastonbury because I didn't have a window seat.

"Everybody was nosing and reaching over to see it

We were due to land at 11pm and I was wondering if we were going to see fireworks."

Lianne continued: "We couldn't hear anything sadly but we could see all the lights.

"The lights kept spinning around in the sky and it was like a multicoloured light show, it was crazy and mad to see."

Speaking about his virtual reunion with Lennon, Paul told the crowd: "I've got a special little thing here, one day, Peter Jackson rings me up and says he can take John's vocals and isolate them so that you can play live with John on tour, he said do you fancy that?"

Following the emotional performance, he added: "That's so special for me man, I know it's virtual but come on – it's John, we're back together."

Elsewhere, Paul treated fans to surprise performances with Foo Fighters icon Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen as he topped the festival's bill.

Fans however were left furious after discovering his performance was delayed by an hour on the BBC and BBC iPlayer.

A synopsis read: "Watch Paul McCartney's headline performance on the Glastonbury Channel on iPlayer and BBC One from 10.30pm."

But the BBC later explained: "Paul McCartney's much anticipated set was broadcast on BBC One at 10.30pm as well as on Radio 2 and will be available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.

"Due to the complexity of broadcasting an event of this scale and the volume of performances we cover, there is sometimes variation between performances taking place and their transmission."
