Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin used his Glastonbury set to call for peace for people in Israel and Palestine.

The band were not the only act to make political statements about the conflict, but he was the only artist to call for peace for both Israelis and Palestinians on the main stage.

During their headline set the band performed a duet with Palestinian singer Elyanna.

Later in their set, Martin thanked everyone who had come to see them play and called on the crowd to show a "beacon of togetherness" in a time where it seemed impossible.
