With husband Jay Z in the crowd, stood next to good friend Gwyneth Platrow, Beyonce took to the main stage in a sequined gold number and proceeded to dance and sing her butt of to a selection of her biggest hits.

Beyonce loved the roaring reception she received from the 170,000 strong crowd and shouted out, "You are witnessing my dream! Thankyou for having me and my band tonight, I always wanted to be a rock star and tonight we are all rock stars."

Beyonce is the first female to headline the festival in 20 years and she stuck with the girl power theme by having an all female band onstage with her.
