Presenter Ros Atkins hit the decks for a one-and-a-half hour set on the Stonebridge Stage on Saturday afternoon - following the likes of Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker and Irish DJ Annie Mac. With 500 fans raving to his first ever DJ set at Glastonbury , the analysis editor - who is best known for his rather serious 'explainer videos' - decided to drop a remix of the BBC News theme tune.
Fans were delighted by the track and it has been played on BBC Radio 1 by Greg James . In a behind-the-scenes video, Atkins revealed he worked with David Lowe - the original BBC news theme composer - as well as DJ and producer Crissy Chriss.
