Oh my god.

I've had a couple of meetings with him the last few months over work stuff. Wasn't even aware he was ill.

Lovely chap, lived for his job & had the most beautiful view of the site from his office.

He showed me the recently unveiled Millers Leep, an oak bridge joining the offices. He was immensely proud of it and such a thing will now stand as a fitting monument to a man who is in many ways an unsung hero of the festival and made huge strides to making the festival more sustainable & bringing the infrastructure into the 21st century.

How devastating for everyone at GFL As well as his family, of course, most importantly. RIP Phil.

[The Placid Casual]

Clearly a great man. Thoughts are with his family.

[Mr Splodge]

Thoughts and prayers go out to all his family.

Also thank you for helping make Glastonbury Festival so special to thousands of people.

Had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times. A really really quite personable yet hardworking and dedicated figure in the crew, to enable a great festival year in year out. So very tragic to hear of his passing. Will be having a drink for him at the festival.

Hope there can be some sort of recognition of his fine efforts this June.

Reading the tributes it seems he was very much one of the unsung heroes that put so much effort in to making it happen for us all. Although it is sad news i am sure it will be very comforting to those who knew him to see that his legacy will last a long time in a very positive way. R.I.P.

Quite clearly an unsung hero of the festival and someone who has helped contribute to mine and countless others enjoyment of Glastonbury, and for that we should all be thankful.

Thoughts with the family.

[Space Shanty]

Without ever meeting him I think we can safely say he did a magnificent job and for that I and many others are very thankful.

RIP

Very sad news. I never met him but he was so clearly one of those unsung heroes who make GF what it is. A friend to hundreds of thousands who never had the pleasure of his company. Thanks, Phil.

[LondonTom]

One of those who never heard of him until today, but reading Micheal and Emily's notes today, seems he was repossible for much of the stuff we take for granted and for that I am grateful! Always amazes me the infrastructure behind the festival! RIP and thoughts with his family!

Glastonbury seem to have lost a few key members in recent years

Back in 2009 I bumped into Phil, spanner in hand, having turned on the Bristol Water main for the new reservoir for the site.

He beckoned me over, to take me down in to the pump room.

A year later he was kind enough to take ten minutes out of his day to talk me through what his team had been building for that year's festival.

He was a very friendly man, who had a passion about the whole business of making the site work.

He'll be a great loss to festival, I'm sure.

Here's the result of that chat:

Yes. What everyone has already said. A meaningful life well

lived and a legacy for many years to come. An inspiration and thoughts and condolences to all those who were lucky enough to work with Phil and to his friends and family.
