Robbie Williams gave a performance fit for a king and treated fans to a non-stop stream of hits on his first night at the royal Sandringham Estate.
Williams' two sold-out Norfolk gigs this weekend are his only stand-alone outdoor concerts in the UK this year.
It is Sandringham's first large-scale concert series, which has been organised by Heritage Live, and he follows Van Morrison on Friday, with The Who set to rock the stage on Monday.

As a fan of Williams, I had already seen one of his first shows on the XXV tour, marking 25 years as a solo artist.

After watching him take his adoring audience on a trip down memory lane with huge visuals at London's O2 Arena, I was interested to see how the tour would translate outdoors.
Luckily it didn't disappoint and the ultimate showman proved he is still top of his game.

The concert began with Hey Wow Yeah Yeah followed by the party starter Let Me Entertain You.
He then performed hit after hit, with plenty to choose from with 31 UK top 10 singles under his belt, and he dedicated some songs to superfans in the front row.
It was also great to see him celebrate his Take That routes, with his former bandmate Mark Owen the special guest ahead of his headline set.

Mark returned to the stage later in the evening to sing a duet with Robbie on the Take That song Greatest Day, which was a really touching moment.
Other highlights included Love My Life, complete with streamers fired out at the audience, and the scaled-back She's The One.
Robbie has amassed countless hits over his stellar (and sometimes shocking) career and his most popular single is undoubtedly the anthem Angels.
This was his final song during the encore and with the crowd singing along at the top of their lungs, Robbie well and truly took them to the heavens.
In terms of traffic, it took 90 minutes from arriving in the vicinity of Sandringham to get parked and it took an hour to get out of the car park when leaving.
The staff were friendly and helpful but the signage was a little confusing.
