Fans have flocked to Wembley for the second sell-out London show in Beyonce's Formation world tour.

The megastar delighted her legion of fans, known as the BeyHive, when she got emotional during her first night in London yesterday.

She told fans in the packed-out stadium: "I started singing a very, very long time ago. The first concert I ever saw was Michael Jackson.

"And I started dreaming that one day, I'll be in stadiums. All the way in London.

"I just want to say thank you. Most of you guys made me your Destiny's Child 19 years ago and I want to say thank you for supporting me for so long and allowing me to grow and evolve, I love you so much. Thank you to my BeyHive!"

Queen Bey took to the stage after support acts Zara Larsson and Tinie Tempah warmed up the crowd, and performed hits including Crazy In Love, Halo, Love On Top, Run The World (Girls), and Drunk in Love to the rapturous fans.

The show also included a tribute to late star Prince, with the stage at Wembley lit up in purple in his honour as Beyonce performed his seminal hit Purple Rain.

The thousands of fans in Wembley were joined by Beyonce's husband Jay-Z, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, Kendell Jenner and rugby star Maro Itoje, who all turned out to watch the show.

The star will perform for a second night at Wembley this evening, before heading on to Manchester for a show at the Emirates Old Trafford stadium on Tuesday.
