Sir Ringo Starr has joined a host of musicians as part of a limited edition postcard design campaign to premiere as part of the fight to tackle the climate crisis.

Visitors to the festival can send a postcard to Boris Johnson, urging the government to take urgent action and another to remind them how they can play their part.
Sir Ringo, a longtime supporter of WaterAid, designed a postcard showing him on a faucet that has dried up.
The former Beatles said: “We all share one world and we must unite to protect it, and each other, as we face the threat of climate change.
“I have long supported WaterAid and I believe that the basic right is that every human being has access to clean water.
“I made a special postcard for the festivals this summer, so that people can join me in supporting this campaign so that everyone has clean water.
“Together we can create change. Peace and love.”
The band Foals, which will lead at the Other Stage in Glastonbury, made a postcard with the words “The future is not what it used to be”, from their song Black Gold.

Singer and guitarist Janis Filipakis said: “Climate change is already having a terrible impact on the planet, especially on the poorest people in the world.
“That’s why we support WaterAid and join our climate struggle.
“Together, we can help save lives and make the world a brighter place.
Other celebrities involved in the campaign include rock band The Waterboys, singer KT Tunstall, pop-rock band Scouting for Girls, and Dame fashion designer Zandra Rhodes.
A limited edition postcard will be available at festivals in the UK throughout the summer.
