'Unbelievable' Beyonce closes show

Beyonce performs at the Glastonbury Festival
12 April 2012

Glastonbury fell crazy in love with Beyonce as the American superstar brought the festival to a close in "unforgettable" fashion.

More than 50,000 fans crammed on the famous muddy hill screamed in unison as she declared: "This is my dream."

Arriving on stage 10 minutes late in typically diva-like fashion, a celebrity-packed audience sang along as she started proceedings with Crazy in Love. She was later joined on stage by Bristolian Tricky for smash hit Baby Boy.

At the beginning of the set she appeared silhouetted against a white triangle of light and the crowd went wild.

Beyonce had arrived on stage and as she sashayed down the stairs, any doubts about a pop act headlining Glastonbury were blown away. The triangle went red and there was a burst of fireworks.

"Glaston-berry, are you ready?" she called. The crowd responded with a frenzy of excitement.

Wearing a low cut gold sequinned top, which split to reveal a pair of black knickers, the 29-year-old opened her high energy set with Crazy In Love.

After finishing the first song she told the crowd: "I want you all to know right now you're witnessing my dream. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me and my band tonight.

"I always wanted to be a rock star and tonight we are all rock stars. I want you to forget about your worries, forget about your troubles. I want you to get lost in this music tonight. I want to make beautiful memories and be free tonight."

She carried on with Single Ladies, Naughty Girl and Baby Boy.
