Here's what happened when Glastonbury first-timer Idris Elba asked for tips...

Ahead of his DJ set at this year's Glastonbury festival, Idris Elba has asked fans for advice on how to tackle the legendary festival, prompting some predictable and more unusual responses.

Elba will make his debut on the Sonic Stage on Saturday night, having pulled out of the festival last year due to filming commitments. So, what do people think the self-confessed "#Glastonbury virgin" needs to know?

Most stuck to practical advice:
