After Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds let off a string of Oasis classics, it was time for McCartney to ascend to the Pyramid stage.

Beatlemania was back in full force as the singer kicked off his set with Can’t Buy Me Love before rolling through other classics from the back catalogue including Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Love Me Do, and Blackbird.

McCartney also played plenty of his Wings hits and his solo tunes, but the real excitement came when he was joined on stage by Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl, as well as an old friend.

American rock star Springsteen joined McCartney for a rendition of his own song Glory Days, and for The Beatles’ I Wanna Be Your Man.

Foo Fighters frontman Grohl took to the stage alongside McCartney and ‘The Boss’ for the final song of the three-hour set - The End.

Fans of McCartney were overwhelmed by the performance - one said: “I’m a huge Beatles fan, I’ma huge Bruce Springsteen fan, I’m a huge Foo Fighter fan. I got everything I wanted tonight.”

Another said: “I grew up listening to The Beatles so to see Paul McCartney live, it’s incredible. It’s like a one off-experience.

How did John Lennon appear at Glastonbury?

42 years after he was killed in New York City, the Beatle and Imagine singer appeared at Glastonbury with his former bandmate thanks to the magic of virtual reality.

Footage of Lennon was shown on the large screens alongside the stage and his remastered vocals were played, as McCartney and Lennon performed I’ve Got a Feeling.
