Headline: 5G at Glastonbury: Images show 5G masts constructed on Glastonbury Festival site

Caption: These images show the placement of 5G masts on the Glastonbury Festival site as the new speedy 5G mobile network is set to be trialled at this year's festival for the very first time. The event, which will run from June 26 to June 30, will host over 200,000 music lovers. They will be some of the first people to test the latest mobile network before it is rolled out across several cities in the UK later this year - as long as they have a phone that is compatible with 5G. But some campaigners have set up a petition for it to be banned at the world-famous festival, which 3,000 people have signed. They say they're worried about how safe the new technology is. Residents of Glastonbury town have also expressed concerns over 5G. The issue has even been taken up with the local authorities. Now, Glastonbury council is looking into it and has voted against the introduction of 5G in the town for now.
