The Cure have brought the curtain down on Glastonbury, the finale to an epic weekend of music which also saw the likes of The Killers, Stormzy, Kylie Minogue, Liam Gallagher and Miley Cyrus grace the famous Pyramid Stage.
Frontman Robert Smith said that he was putting on his "pop head" to play the final headline show with a hit-laden set.
The band, headlining for the fourth time but the first since 1995, kicked off their performance with songs such as Plainsong, Pictures Of You and A Night Like This.
Unlike many of the other artists over the weekend, Smith did not spend much time talking on stage.
"I realise that I'm going for the award for the person that says less ever at Glastonbury," he said at one point. "There is no award by the way for that, I've just made that up… although I'd still win it."

Finishing with the classic Boy's Don't Cry, they provided yet another memorable show for fans who had been camping and enduring festival toilets for days to see their favourite acts.
The Cure followed Vampire Weekend and Miley Cyrus on the festival's main stage, and before that Kylie Minogue, who played an emotional set in the now traditional Sunday afternoon legends slot – her first ever solo performance at Glastonbury after she was forced to cancel her 2005 headline set while undergoing treatment for cancer.
