Kneecap's Móglaí Bap reunited with lost Glastonbury camera after fan accidentally retrieves it from lost and found
He revealed another festival-goer, who had also misplaced their own similar disposable camera, picked up his from the festival's lost property team.
She developed the camera, with the photos turning out to be shots of the rap trio and friends backstage at the festival.
'Hey, I got sent a disposable camera by the lost property team at Glastonbury which matched the description of the one I lost, but I think it's actually yours or one of your friends, it has lots of pictures of you backstage!' she messaged the star.
Moglaí Bap shared a series of the snaps on social media, thanking the 'legend that developed by disposable camera I lost at Glastonbury thinking it was hers'.
He also informed fans that it is their 'last chance' to watch the Kneecap set at Glastonbury on the BBC, though joked that 'if anyone wants to rip it and stick it on YouTube, you'd be doing the lord's work'.
'Imagine finding a random camera and it turns out it belongs to your fave band and has a bunch of backstage pics. How delightful!' one fan commented.
The West Belfast trio made headlines when they performed at the festival, with the performance, which was investigated by police, coming just days after member Mo Chara appeared before a UK court.
Mo Chara was released on unconditional bail last month after being charged with a terrorism offence earlier this year. He was alleged to have displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in north London in 2024, a charge the band has described as a 'distraction'.
The next hearing will take place on August 20.
The band's Glastonbury set, which was not broadcast live by the BBC, was investigated by police, along with a performance by punk duo Bob Vylan, who appeared on stage before Kneecap.
The investigation into their performance was later dropped, with Kneecap telling followers that the move to launch one was 'political' and 'targeted'.

BBC launches investigation into Strictly stars' 'cocaine use'
The BBC has launched an investigation into alleged cocaine use by two of the stars of Strictly Come Dancing. Reports in The Sun allege their drug use was discussed on the BBC dancing show and said that the corporation had appointed law firm Pinsent Masons to lead the investigation. According to reports, the allegations were made in a legal submission by law firm Russells in March on behalf of former contestant Wynne Evans, who was dropped by the BBC after apologising for using "inappropriate language" during the launch of the Strictly tour. Others have also reported drug use on the show, according to The Sun. A BBC spokesperson said: "We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. "We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further." it is understood that the BBC often appoints external law firms to help it lead investigations, while reporting back to an internal team. The cast members involved in the investigation were not named by The Sun. It comes after the BBC launched a review into Strictly in 2024 that looked into allegations of bullying and harassment against former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, made by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington. The corporation upheld some, but not all, of the complaints made - and introduced a series of new measures aimed at improving welfare. This included the introduction of a chaperone who is present "at all times" during training room rehearsals. EastEnders star James Borthwick was also suspended from the BBC after a video emerged of the actor using a slur on the set of the dance programme.

BBC faces criticism over delay in paying court-ordered damages to Gerry Adams
The BBC has been criticised for not yet having paid court-ordered damages to former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams. The corporation lost a major defamation case earlier this year after Mr Adams took them to court over a 2016 episode of its Spotlight programme and an accompanying online story. They contained an allegation that Mr Adams sanctioned the killing of former Sinn Féin official Denis Donaldson. Mr Adams denied any involvement. In May, a jury at the High Court found in his favour and awarded him €100,000 after determining that was the meaning of words included in the programme and article. The BBC, which was found by the jury not to have acted in good faith nor in a fair and reasonable way, was also ordered to pay the former Sinn Féin leader's legal costs. BBC Northern Ireland director Adam Smyth (centre) outside the High Court in Dublin after the court case (Brian Lawless/PA) Adam Smyth, director of BBC NI, expressed disappointment in the verdict and said the corporation believes it supplied extensive evidence to the court of the careful editorial process and journalistic diligence applied to the programme and accompanying online article. After the decision, the broadcaster's legal team was granted a stay in the payment of the full award as it took time to consider an appeal, subject to paying half the damages (€50,000) and €250,000 towards solicitors' fees. In June, the BBC confirmed it would not pursue an appeal. However, it is understood that by August 1 the BBC had not paid the damages. Mr Adams previously indicated that he planned to donate what he receives to good causes. He specified that these would include for children in Gaza as well as groups in the Irish language sector and those who are homeless. A source close to Mr Adams told the PA news agency: 'The delay by the BBC is deplorable and it should move speedily towards discharging the order of the court.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Total costs will be finalised and payable in due course.'

Patrick Kielty in line for new Late Late contract following Cat Deeley split
Late Late Show star Patrick Kielty wants to host the smash hit chat show long-term despite the break-up of his marriage to Cat Deeley. RTE executives are fully supportive of him and prepared to offer the chatterbox comedian a lucrative new deal when his current €250,000 a year contract expires next May, we can reveal. Friends of the couple are adamant that Kielty, 54, working in Ireland had nothing to do with the marriage split and Paddy and Cat, 48, had effectively been living apart in the same house for over a year. One source said: 'He was spending on average two nights a week in Ireland. He would usually fly in on Thursday and do the show live on Friday nights, 30 times a year. 'He would then drive up north and do his BBC Five Live radio show on Saturday mornings from the Belfast studios and fly back to London afterwards. 'He still saw plenty of his wife and the two sons. Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley (Image: Getty Images) 'The problem was the personal relationship between them just seemed to break down for whatever reasons. They are both strong personalities who speak their mind. Neither was seeing anyone else, there was definitely no third party involved.' Paddy has now done two seasons of the Late Late Show since the departure of Ryan Tubridy. RTE said he has been a roaring success and has completely stabilized and grown the ratings, which fluctuate between 400,000 to 500,000 a week now between the live audience and the RTE Player. But crucially for the national broadcaster, advertisers and sponsors have come running back to its flagship No 1 show. One RTE insider said: 'Paddy Kielty has been like a breath of fresh air here. 'He has come in with his own ideas and transformed and improved the Late Late Show, making it relevant again. 'He has also improved the calibre of guests and he has no problem getting on the phone and persuading some top stars to come to Dublin. 'Absolutely no-one on the show knew he was having marital difficulties because he kept it to himself. Kielty took over hosting the Late Late Show from Ryan Tubridy in September 2023 (Image: PA) 'When he comes to Dublin he is strictly business, extremely professional and doesn't talk about his personal life. 'He hardly ever mentioned his wife during his two years here and she never came to Ireland to watch his show which is in itself very strange. 'All the Late Late team have great time for him because he is a very humble down to earth fella. 'Everyone is devastated that his marriage is over but in the high-stakes, highly-pressurised showbiz world, these things happen.' Kielty has made it clear he really enjoys being back in Ireland and presenting The Late Late Show. He has told friends he would like to renew his contract at the end of his three-year term and keep presenting the show – and top executives in RTE let him know privately they want to keep him. RTE sources said any talks on a new deal haven't started yet but they expect it to get sorted over the coming year. Kielty and Cat would have been married 13 years this September. Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty in happier times (Image: hoto by) They lived in a mansion in Beverly Hills for several years after they tied the knot in Rome in 2012 while she presented the popular American show So You Think You Can Dance. They and their two sons Milo, 9, and James, 7, returned to London in 2020. Cat resurrected her TV career in the UK when she took over as co- presenter on the This Morning daytime show on ITV and Virgin Media along with Ben Shephard in March last year following the controversial departure of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. The €600,000 a year job meant she was up at 5am and into the studio from Monday to Thursday every week. No one suspected their marriage was on the rocks. However, when Paddy's mother Mary died in March, eyebrows were raised when Cat and the children didn't show up for the funeral in his home village of Dundrum, Co Down. His sons adored their Irish granny and spent their summers with her, with the elder lad playing Gaelic football.

Benett) The Late Late broadcaster is a very committed father and family man and will continue to live in London to be near his kids. The RTE source added: 'He will be back here in September when we go back on air and he will fly in and out from London doing his thing. 'Knowing Paddy he will give the show 110% and he won't let this personal setback hamper his career. 'You can expect the new season of the Late Late to be bigger and better than ever.'
