Glastonbury: Kanye West delivers headline set.
US rapper Kanye West has delivered his highly anticipated Glastonbury festival set, telling fans he is "the greatest living rock star on the planet".
West's headline booking had caused some controversy and his performance divided opinion among the crowd on site.
He opened with number one hit Stronger and performed on a largely bare stage with a bank of white lights above.
But his set was briefly interrupted by a stage invasion by British comedian and prankster Lee Nelson.
The prankster, real name Simon Brodkin, wrote on Twitter: "Some people were saying Kanye shouldn't headline Glastonbury so I thought I'd give him a hand."
But he was swiftly bundled off stage by a security guard and West resumed his song Black Skinhead.
At one point, he left the stage to travel above the heads of the crowd in the cradle of a cherry picker for the songs Touch the Sky and All of the Lights.
His performance came after more than 134,000 people signed a petition objecting to his booking, and Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis had death threats on Twitter from a disgruntled fan.
