Glastonbury has returned in some force for 2022, with thousands of people enjoying great sets from the likes of Billie Eilish, Sam Fender and Blossoms.
The music is obviously the main aspect that people go to Glastonbury for, but another small factor that people look out for are the fun and quirky flags that people bring along.
Whether they are there to make people laugh or to show off a great design, there are plenty of highlights to pick from.
Here are some of the best we have seen at the music festival so far this year.
The best and funniest flags at Glastonbury 2022
One flag in particular has struck a chord with many attending the festival or keeping track with it at home.
With just the words "This Is A Work Event" printed on it, in reference to the partygate scandal that dogged Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party in the first half of 2022, many people found it funny.

Broadcaster Scott Bryan described it as the "Best flag at Glastonbury so far" with many others expressing similar sentiments.
Another one that has been seen references the Channel 4 comedy Derry Girls, with a picture of Sister Michael in the middle with a backdrop of an Irish flag.

Meanwhile, a light-up Welsh flag caught the eye of many who were watching along to the BBC's coverage of the festival on Friday night.
One person who was watching along was impressed, posting on Twitter: "That Welsh flag lit up on Glastonbury is stunning."

Additionally, the Laser Kiwi flag, which was pitched as a genuine flag for New Zealand for its 2015–2016 New Zealand flag referendums, was among those seen on the BBC coverage.

If you're a fan of the U.S. version of The Office and had been watching the coverage on TV you might have seen a flag which references the show.
A flag showing Steve Carell's character Michael Scott playing his own character in 'Prison Mike' drew a fair amount of attention.
