Flags at festivals remain a contentious issue. One point of view is that people who carry them around and then stand in front of the main stages at festivals are a bunch of idiots who shouldn't be allowed out of their own houses. The other is that standing around at festivals making sure anyone past thirty rows back can't see the stage is a perfectly fine thing to do.

As previously reported, Glastonbury Festival organisers have been reluctant to impose a ban on flags, unlike Reading and Leeds last year and Download this year and, when asked about the issue earlier this week, Glasto chief Michael Eavis said that flags would stay, though added efforts would be made to ensure a clear view of the stage for all audience members. However, the issue just won't go away, so now they've put it to the vote.

Say the folks behind Glasto: "The topic of whether flags should be banned from in front of the Pyramid Stage at the festival seems to have been cropping up a bit recently. Our gut feeling here at Festival HQ is that they shouldn't be banned, as we think they add to the magic of a big Pyramid stage performance. But we wanted to find out what you folks think".
