An Edinburgh University student attending the Glastonbury music festival has been sent home with suspected swine flu.
Festival officials said three people, including a student from Exeter University and a ten-year-old child, were taken to isolation facilities after being diagnosed. They then went back to their homes.
Doctors at the festival said they believe the three individuals likely showed symptoms before arriving.
Christo Hird, a festival spokesman, said Saturday night: "This was anticipated. There is no more risk here than anywhere. The figure of three in 177,000 people is regarded as very low."
No other revellers had presented with symptoms, he said. A medical team of 600 is on hand to deal with medical emergencies.
Festival-goers took the news without panic and many felt the news was inevitable.
Susan Monaghan, 45, from Windsor, said: "I thought it was going to happen. It's not very serious anyway.
"If I was worried I wouldn't have come here."
Some 1,793 patients have walked through the doors of the medical tents, down from 1,466 at the same point in 2008. Thirty-one people have been taken to hospital - nearly half the number from a year ago.
