LeAnn Rimes switched nationalities for the day!

She switched outfits too, for a set that oozed star quality...

...And her surprise duet with David Gray was one of its many highlights

Meanwhile, Ken Bruce nabbed that Union Jack flag and posed happily in front of a picture of himself

He wasn't the only Radio 2 presenter getting into the festival spirit

Gregory Porter was smoothness personified

...Although he was almost upstaged by his virtuoso sax player

Either way, it sounded fantastic from out in the crowd

Status Quo went 'aquostic'

Even the absence of Rick Parfitt (get well soon Rick!) couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of these Quo fans

Craig Charles got to grips with Suggs on the Radio 2 sofa...

...But he broke free in time for Madness's storming set. One step beeyoooond!

Finally, it was time for the maestro. Who, of course, had his initials in sequins on the back of his jacket

At 69, Elton John is still every inch the showman

But of course this whole concert couldn't have happened without you guys, the audience. Thanks for a great day everyone!
