Bowie rocks the Isle of Wight

More than 70,000 music lovers lapped up the sunshine this weekend as they listened to The Who and  at the revived Isle of Wight Festival.
As well as the music, the recreation ground site at Newport was crammed with people wearing England football shirts and waving the St George's Cross in support of the national team's match against France in Euro 2004.
The game was being screened from the main stage between acts.
The highlight for many at the festival was The Who, who thrilled the crowd with a selection of their greatest hits in a two-hour performance last night which was a throwback to the band's legendary performance in 1970 - the last of the original Isle of Wight Festivals.
Speaking in an interview with Virgin Radio, The Who frontman Roger Daltrey spoke of his nerves at being able to live up to the expectations of their many fans at the festival.
He said: "You always doubt your ability because you never really succeed in doing what you want to do and that's why I keep coming back." Bowie closed the event last night.
Other newer bands taking to the stage during the three-day event were Snow Patrol, Jet and 22-20s as well as established names such as Stereophonics and Manic Street Preachers.
The Isle of Wight Festivals at the end of the 1960s were a series of legendary events featuring Bob Dylan, The Who, Free, The Doors, Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane culminating in 1970 with 600,000 hippies descending on the island to see Jimi Hendrix perform his penultimate concert.
As documented in the film Message to Love and celebrated in songs such as Oasis's F***ing in the Bushes, the festival has entered music history and was heralded as the European answer to Woodstock.
