The real star of Kanye West's Glastonbury set? The BBC subtitles team

The real star of Kanye West's Glastonbury set? The BBC subtitles team

Forget the rogue stage invader, or the claim that we were watching the greatest living rock star on the planet, for armchair Glastonbury fans the best moments from Kanye West's headline slot came via the person or persons who write the BBC's subtitles.

Prior to televised coverage starting, the Beeb had warned that the Pyramid Stage set would contain "strong language and adult themes".

It soon transpired that the subtitlers had received a memo to tone down some of the lyrics.

Our only hope is that for the sequel, the BBC team try to subtitle Iggy Azalea.
