Denise Welch admits it may be her 'first and last Glastonbury' after 'overwhelming' moment

Actress and star of Loose Women Denise Welch admitted she may have attended her "first and last Glastonbury" following an "overwhelming moment" at the popular music festival. She took to Instagram to share her thoughts after attending the event on the weekend to see her son, Matty Healy, perform with his band The 1975, who headlined the Pyramid Stage on Friday evening.

Despite leaving people torn, the band put on an epic performance, and clearly left Denise, 67, very proud for finally fulfilling their dream. She was left "overwhelmed" as she shared a heartfelt message with fans, and even offered some insights as to what the event was like.

She wrote: "Seeing my son and his best friends go from playing in our garage to headlining Glastonbury was the most overwhelming and emotional experience. Surrounded by our family and closest friends, I'll never forget it.

"I was so incredibly proud because I know how hard they have worked to get to and stay at the top of their game. As for the festival, I found it equally emotional and overwhelming trying to get around!

"My first and probably my last Glasto, but I saw my son headline, had my face on flags and got chatted up by rappers in Greggs!!! I'm now back in my favourite place. In bed getting ready to watch 24 Hours in Police Custody. Peace."

After Denise shared the post, fans were keen to share their thoughts and offer her support. Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor replied, saying: "Fabulous."

Coleen Nolan also added: "Ahh Den what a fantastic post.. so happy for you and yes those boys deserve it all.. you must be so proud!"

Someone else said: "Love him - he was absolutely amazing to watch and love his music - what talent (I am an older women by the way). Should I be having a crush like that on someone so young at my age?"

Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "Oh Denise, what a weekend! It was a stunning performance, as usual. You should be SO proud of Matty - I am still not over JUST how lovely he was when we interrupted you both at the pub the other weekend. Absolutely made my whole year."

The 1975, comprising Matty, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel, took to the Pyramid Stage for their set. The band were the first headline act of the weekend, with Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo having also headlined at Worthy Farm in Somerset on Saturday and Sunday night respectively.

Matty, 36, and his bandmates opened their set with their song Happiness. The the Brit Award winning band's setlist for Glastonbury later included singles like Chocolate, as well as other tracks such as Love Me and Paris. The set came to an emotional end when Matty was close to tears during the end of their track "About You", clearly overwhelmed by the experience.

The staging for the set included occasional strobe lighting and various graphics on screen behind the band. A car was also visible on stage at one point, as frontman Matty opened the song Somebody Else whilst sat inside it, much like the music video.

Despite some suggesting the crowd was "sparse," many fans were seen in the audience as people donned The 1975 t-shirts and sang along with the band. One fan wrote: "The 1975 at #Glastonbury has to go down as one of the greatest sets of all time. No debate."

Another said: "The 1975 set list tonight has been INSANE, if you are at #Glastonbury tonight, I hope you're appreciating this." Someone wrote: "The 1975 you're smashing it as always. Great band live. Wish I was at Glastonbury."

Meanwhile, another also chimed in with: "The 1975 were incredible, amazing set, loved it a lot!"
