The Isle of Wight Festival drew to a spectacular close when one of the world’s greatest rock bands took to the main stage on Sunday night.

Remarkably, it was Queen’s UK festival debut – despite forming back in 1970 - and boy I hope it won’t be their last.

Granted, it’s not really Queen - it’s guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor – but it’s the closest we’re ever going to get.

American Idol runner-up, Adam Lambert was on vocals and wow what a voice.

No one’s ever going to replace Mercury – even Lambert himself recognises that – but the headline performance was electric and the frontman did not disappoint.

It was hit after hit after hit. One after another from Fat Bottom Girls to Another One Bites The Dust, and the classic I Want To Break Free. Don’t Stop Me Now had everyone dancing with thousands singing along.

The band sang Who Wants To Live Forever as an emotional tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting.

Lambert said: "This song is dedicated to those who lost their lives in Orlando, Florida, and anyone who has been a victim of senseless violence or hatred."

But it was the finale of We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions that shook the island to its core before gold confetti marked the end of an incredible weekend.

Earlier in the day Mike and the Mechanics performed on the main stage and a lively show from the Cribs and Ocean Colour Scheme were not to be missed.

Twin Atlantic performed a fantastic set, with fans given a treat when lead singer Sam McTrusty climbed into the crowd during their song No Sleep.

The festival’s various bars and zones had something for everyone.

There was a real family feel about this festival with many kiddies on the shoulders of their elders clad with flowers in their hair.

The festival got fully under way on Friday night with a joint headline slot by Stereophonics followed by Faithless.

The Who played a greatest hit set on Saturday night showing they’ve still got it despite forming half a century ago.

And so the sun sets on what has been a fantastic weekend. That was my first time at the Isle of Wight festival – it certainly won’t be my last.
