Pulp's 'Patchwork' set at Glastonbury interrupted by surprise appearance
Glastonbury Festival fans' predictions proved to be correct as Pulp took to the stage - and at some point during their performance of Common People, the Red Arrows flew past Pulp's surprise set at Glastonbury Festival this evening featured a surprise appearance - the Red Arrows. The Sheffield group, revealed as the mystery band Patchwork, took to the Pyramid Stage and began with a rendition of their hit song Sorted For E's And Wizz while the words Pulp Summer appeared on the screen behind them. Following their opening track, the Jarvis Cocker-fronted band launched into one of their best known songs, Disco 2000, from 1995's Different Class, one of the most acclaimed albums of the 1990s, prompting a mass singalong from the Glastonbury crowd. The band also played Spike Island and Acrylic Afternoons. The band finished with a double whammy of two of their best know songs, Babies and Common People, having played their breakthrough single Do You Remember The First Time? earlier in the set. And during their performance of Common People, fans were amazed to see the Red Arrows fly over Glastonbury. One wrote on X: "Pulp, the Pyramid & the Red Arrows, the best place on earth." Another tweeted: "Common People by Pulp is the greatest song from the 90s. That is a hill I will die on! Incredible crowd at the pyramid stage, thousands of flags and singing their hearts out. And the Red Arrows flew over, what timing." A third said: "The Red Arrows doing a flypast during the Pulp set at Glasto is too bizarre." Someone else wrote: "The Red Arrows flying over Glasto while Pulp play Common People might be the most British thing that has ever happened." "The Red Arrows flying over Glastonbury during Pulp singing Common People. Peak British," said someone else. One more added: "Red Arrows could not have planned that better coming over the Pyramid right at the climax of Common Man by Pulp." A festival-goer tweeted: "pulp featuring the red arrows. best set of the weekend so far." Their performance comes 30 years after their headline performance at the festival when they stood in for The Stone Roses after the Manchester band's guitarist John Squire was injured in a cycling accident. Groups of people wearing waterproof parkas took to the stage before the performance began, and footage from their 1995 headline show was broadcast on the screen behind. The festival worked hard to keep the identity of the mysterious Patchwork act a secret, but hours before the anonymous band was set to perform, a telling clue was spotted. Among the names circulating on social media were Chappell Roan, Harry Styles or even Robbie Williams. However, a festival-goer has exclusively revealed to The Mirror they have spotted a telling clue on a sound engineer box right by the Pyramid stage today. A source has shared an exclusive photograph of the boxes – one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source told us: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Earlier this month, expert social media account SecretGlasto, which has built up a reputation for confirming secret Worthy Farm acts for the past ten years, revealed the mysterious act was Pulp. In April, fans called for a "Pulp Day" after the legendary band announced they would release a new album. Frontman Jarvis Cocker confirmed the group would release their eighth studio album later this year. The album comes over a decade after the band's most recent release, 2013's After You' X users shared photographs of albums, announcements and interview snippets from the band over the years while radio stations predominantly played Pulp songs. BBC Radio 6's Lauren Laverne played a series of Pulp hits, including Do You Remember the First Time? and Common People, which left social media users calling Pulp Day "glorious". Another user shared a drawing of the band and wished everyone a "happy Pulp Day". One user wrote: "Lauren Laverne listeners currently knocking it out of the park with their Pulp selections." Another added: "Almost a Pulp takeover. Glorious."

Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon
The pair have been the talk of the internet since their US Open announcement earlier this month COURT IN A STORM Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU has put any rumours of a relationship with Carlos Alcaraz to bed. Raducanu and Alcaraz, both 22, have been subject to swirling rumours about a potential romance after they announced they would be teaming up as doubles partners for the US Open later this summer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Emma Raducanu has cleared up rumours about her relationship with Carlos Alcaraz Credit: PA 3 Raducanu and Alcaraz have announced they will be teaming up as doubles partners for the US Open later this summer Credit: Getty The pair will team up at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre in August as they both look to add a doubles success to their US Open singles titles. Rumours on social media have suggested that the duo's relationship goes further than the court this week, but Raducanu has been quick to shut down the chatter. When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: "We're just good friends". Raducanu is jumping at the idea of teaming up with the World No2, who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month.

"But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision." On how they became friends, Raducanu added: "I've known him for years. "And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. 3 Rumours have begun to swirl about the dynamic between Alcaraz and Raducanu Credit: Getty "And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. "And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too." Further lifting the lid on her connection with Alcaraz, Raducanu went on: "We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago. "I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. "Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you." Both Raducanu and Alcaraz will have their full focus on Wimbledon for now, with first-round action getting underway at the All England Club on Monday. Raducanu will open her account with a clash against fellow Brit, Mingge Xu. While Alcaraz will launch his defence of his 2024 title against Italian Fabio Fognini.

Kneecap fans boo Rod Stewart as band target him with "older than Israel" jibe
Fans of the Belfast group jeered Rod's name as Kneecap were performing at Glastonbury. Rod Stewart got a frosty reception during Kneecap 's Glastonbury gig with boos ringing out after he was name checked by the rappers. Fans of the Belfast group jeered Rod's name as Kneecap were performing on the West Holt's stage. Asked if they were going to see Rod's tea time slot at Glastonbury tomorrow, the question was met by jeers, which may have been a reaction to Rod's announcement that he is a big fan of Nigel Farage and the Reform Party. The crowd also mocked Rod when one Kneecap member described him as 'Rod, the Prod' and 'older than Israel'. Celtic fan Rod, who is 80, and spends most of his time in the US, spoke out in favour of Starmer and Reform in an interview with The Times newspaper. He also moaned that Prime Minister, Keir Starmer was trying to reverse Brexit. Rod said: '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,' Rod said. '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. '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.' Rod is likely to have a much friendlier response from his own fans when he returns on Sunday to play the festival he previously headlined in 2002. The British singer, songwriter and producer, who celebrated another number one album last year, will step out onto the Pyramid Stage for the first time in over 20 years on Sunday. With his trademark raspy, soulful voice and armed with a huge back catalogue of hits, there's no doubt he will have the crowd singing along and swinging their hips to songs like Maggie May, You Wear It Well and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? as he promises to entertain the Glastonbury teatime revellers. Rod has said he is not happy with the "teatime slot" as it sounds like "pipe and slippers" though it should be anything but with former Faces bandmate and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood expected to join him onstage. But as the boos rang out at Glastonbury's Kneecap members laughed, asking, 'Have I missed something?' And adding, 'I mean the man's older than Israel. Rod, the Prod.' Though it may have been a joke, London-born Rod who lives in the US, is actually older than modern state of Israel which was founded on April 18, 1948. Rod was born on January 10, 1945.
