This is Bristol -- Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis bares all as he takes centre stage – in a nude charity calendar. The 78-year-old pop veteran appears as 'Mr June' clutching just a pair of skimpy denim shorts to protect his modesty. He is among 12 local businessmen and celebrities who stripped off for the Legends of Somerset 2014 calendar, which is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Photographer Jason Bryant, who organised the calendar, said Mr Eavis was a willing participant. Mr Bryant said: "He was a great model and didn't hesitate in getting his kit off. But then he has got a great set of legs for a man of his age." The shoot took place at the symbolic stone circle on the Glastonbury Festival site at Pilton, Somerset. Others featured in the calendar include Chris Jagger – the brother of recent Glasto headliner Mick – Wells town crier Len Sweales and Shepton "rock flock" sculptor Jeff Body. Rugby legend Wayne Stiling also took part and he said the fundraising had extra significance for him, having lost his wife Michele to cancer in March. He said: "I've never done anything like the calendar before – but it's such a good cause. People don't realise how much help through the journey they give you. Macmillan and St Margaret's were great – breathtaking. Mr Stiling added: "Michele was a very strong person. If it were the other way round, she would have been fundraising."
