A Colne woman’s star continues to shine as she plays to thousands of music fans at Glastonbury.

Lily Fontaine, who attended Park High School and Burnley College, has once again performed at the iconic festival with her art-rock band English Teacher.

The singer graced The Park Stage on Friday after playing the Left Field last year.

Colne residents took to social media to praise her performance, with one saying she is “true to her roots” and a “fantastic ambassador for our area”. Another commented that “she was the loveliest girl at school and extremely musically talented” while a third said they were “emotional watching [the band]”, calling their set “brilliant”.
