Once again Banksy's presence was felt at the Glastonbury Festival. The guerrilla artist has become a regular fixture at the festival leaving his mark through amusing little tags. However this year he really made a splash by erecting a replica of stone henge using portaloo's. The structure was placed right next glastonburys own stone circle and within the sacred space. It was a humourous take on these mysterious ancient structures using something that's synonymous with the festival, plastic portaloos. The 'stone henge', as the festival progressed was 'decorated' by festival-goers and certainly lost some of it's appeal. Nevertheless Banksy successfully managed to get into the public eye once again with this quirky piece. Whether you could call it art though is another matter. Banksy's 'Stone Henge'.... art or just a pile of s**t?

I missed this despite numerous nights at the stone circle. Nice to see what everyone was talking about
