Glastonbury Festival have announced that they’ve renamed their iconic Left Field Tower after late Labour politician Tony Benn.
Benn, who passed away in March, gave a speech at the festival back in 2008, four years after the tower was originally erected. The pillar had previously been described by Benn himself as a “tower of strength”.
