Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster and son Alistair wear leopard print in homage as they arrive at Glastonbury to support star in Legends slot

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Penny Lancaster has arrived at Glastonbury festival to support her husband Rod Stewart as he headlines in the prestigious Legends slot.
She was joined by her sons, model Alistair, 19, who was wearing a leopard print coat in preparation for his father's set and Aiden, 14.
The matriarch, 54, looked very bohemian as she wore a tassel coat, oversized sunglasses, balloon trousers and a leopard print bag.
The 80-year-old singer's teatime set comes the day after he claimed the country was 'fed up' with the Tories and that Labour was trying to ditch Brexit.
He accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of giving Scottish fishing rights 'back to the EU', although the Government insists it has simply renewed an existing deal for European boats.
His views represent a second volte-face given that he appeared to support Labour at last year's election – despite previously backing the Conservatives.
Asked where Britain's political future now lay, he told The Times: 'It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me.
'But that doesn't mean I'm out of touch. For instance, I've read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular.
'We're fed up with the Tories. We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well. What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.'
Asked what Mr Farage stands for aside from Brexit, tighter immigration and controversial economic promises he replied: 'Yeah, yeah. But Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that.
'Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip.'
Sir Rod also seemed unconvinced that Sir Keir was going to fully address one of his personal pet hates.
Three years ago, the singer donned a hi-vis jacket and rang around friends asking for help filling in potholes outside his Essex house.
'I took me Ferrari out. Nearly lost the f***ing wheel,' he said.
'And before I did in the Ferrari, I saw an ambulance that couldn't move, the wheel stuck right in there.
'So I took me mates out, and we knew what to do because I had builders in the house.
'We filled in a considerable length of the road, actually.'
He added that potholes were still present 'all over Britain' in contrast to Europe.

Chief Rabbi: Glastonbury controversy is "time of national shame"

The UK's Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis has described the BBC's handling of Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance as a "time of national shame." Writing on X, Mirvis said: "The scenes of hateful rhetoric and glorification of violence seen at Glastonbury yesterday should be deeply disturbing for our entire society." He added: "The BBC's belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster's ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low. "It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it." During Bob Vylan's performance, rapper Bobby Vylan chanted 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. It was announced on Monday, a police investigation into the incident is now underway. A police spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes. 'We have received a large amount of contact in relation to these events from people across the world and recognise the strength of public feeling. 'There is absolutely no place in society for hate.' The force said neighbourhood policing teams were speaking with people in their local communities and key stakeholders, which it hoped would reassure the public 'how seriously we are treating Saturday's events'. In a statement posted to Instagram after the Glastonbury set, Vylan said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.' They are due to perform at Radar Festival in Manchester on Saturday and Boardmasters, a surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August. Acknowledging they had received around 150 complaints about the broadcast of Bob Vylan's performance, broadcasting regulator Ofcom said the BBC "clearly has questions to answer." The BBC have acknowledged they "should have pulled" the livestream of Vylan's set which remained online for five hours.
