**Wateraid volunteers were out and about at this year's Glastonbury Festival encouraging people to 'love their loos'.

**In order to draw attention to the global sanitation crisis, Glastonbury revellers were encouraged to express their love for their loos on a graffiti wall at the WaterAid stand by the Pyramid stage, as well as adding their names to the 'End Water Poverty' petition to put pressure on the G8 to agree a global action plan for sanitation and water.

Over 18,000 signatures were collected during the festival.

Campaigns Officer Gerry Austin said: "We were delighted to have collected so many signatures at the festival. The extra signatures bought the total to nearly 70,000 which were handed in to the Japanese Embassy in London.

"This was as part of the official presentation of End Water Poverty actions that have happened across the globe - a total of well over 900,000. We're so grateful to Glastonbury festival goers for adding their voices to the big stink, and hopefully more people will love their loos as a result."

Celebrities pledging their support and loving their loos included Will Young, KT Tunstall, The Ting Tings and the Fratellis. Our 'I love my loo' sweatbands were very popular, with several celebs sporting them as well as getting temporary WaterAid tattoos and posing in the WaterAid Hunter wellies.

The WaterAid Hunter wellies were exclusively designed for the festival, and were signed by a number of famous faces including the Kings of Leon, James Blunt, Duffy and The Subways.
