KNEECAP rapper Mo Chara opened their raucous set at Glastonbury by defiantly declaring: "I'm a free man." More than 30,000 people packed into the festival's West Holts stage yesterday to see the controversial group.

Organisers had earlier dismissed calls to axe their set after Moreal name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence for allegedly showing support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
