If you thought Friday at Glasto was good, well, sorry, but Saturday was better. There were unbelievable performances from everyone you'd expect - the Foos, Stormzy, and, er, Craig David - but there were also some moments that you'd only get at Glasto. Anyone who was in the crowd for Liam Gallagher's tribute to the victims of the Grenfell tragedy will never forget it. We also discovered several new favourite bands. Relive our top ten moments from the day.

1) Liam Gallagher creates a Glasto moment for the history books

At the end of his set, Liam strode up to the mic with all the swagger of his Oasis days, but rather than saying anything bullish, he just went: "Ok, last song - to the people who were killed in the Manchester attacks, the London and the Grenfell Tower. So if you know the words, join in." Then he started Don't Look Back in Anger, and tens of thousands joined in. There was not a dry eye in the field.

Stormzy also dropped his verse from the Grenfell charity single in a moving tribute to the victims during his set. While wearing a Grenfell T-shirt, he rapped: "I refuse to forget you, I refuse to be silenced, I refuse to neglect you. That's for every last soul up in Grenfell even though I've never met you." The crowd were silent for the only time in his set. Another unforgettable moment.

2) Katy's got her eye on you

Katy Perry's Glastonbury debut was so amazing we're sure everyone who watched is now a full-on Katy Cat. I mean she even CROWDSURFED!

Although not everyone was sure about her eye-heavy outfit:

But the best thing about her show? Surely the crowd, which contained people dressed as Left and Right Shark from Katy's spectacular Super Bowl show:

3) Craig David re-re-winds the years

Yes, we admit Craig David is only 36, but if any "old" act showed they could compete with people 20 years younger on Saturday it was Mr Rewind himself. Craig was so great, we'd happily see him do it again today. No, we don't want any chilling on Sunday!

4) Your new favourite disco act is a Malian rock band

Everyone went crazy for The Jacksons' set, where they played wedding disco classics like I Want You Back and Blame It On The Boogie. If there was ever a group to bring out your embarrassing dad dancing to, it's them. But the real dance surprise of Glasto on Saturday, was Mali's Songhoy Blues. As their name suggests, they're meant to be an African blues band, but they played the funkiest - danciest - set on The Park stage. Just look at the crowd in the clip. EVERYONE'S smiling, and EVERYONE'S dancing. Amazing.

5) #energycrew, did we have a grime off? Of course we did

There was so much amazing grime and rap on Saturday, it was like the festival had been taken over by rappers. What can we say? Just pick your favourite.

6) The Foos were worth the wait

It was some two-year wait for the Foos headlining set due to Dave Grohl breaking his leg in 2015. Yes, it was amazing when Florence and the Machine headlined in their place, and last year's Glasto was fantastic too, but tonight's gig could not have been better. I mean, the Foos brought the rock. They brought the roll. They brought riffs so big they shook the whole site. And they just kept on going until we were all spent.

7) Guest of the day: not who you think

If you read the news, you might think the guest of the day was Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn introducing Run The Jewels. But really, the best guest of the day was actually a six-foot-tall polar bear who popped up in ace indie band British Sea Power's set:

British Sea Power are one of the most underrated British rock bands of the past decade so be sure to check out their set.

8) Who needs Beyonce...

...when you can have her sister, Solange, on the West Holts Stage? Solange is so protective of her live show, she wouldn't let TV cameras film it, but going from the photos - with everyone wearing red, and standing under a huge red sun - it was magical.

9) A taste of France

We're pretty sure it's the law that every year one French act has to wow Glasto. Last year, it was Christine & the Queens with her amazing pop and enviable dance routines, but on Saturday it was the turn of French rockers Phoenix. With all the Gallic charm you'd expect, they had the audience at the John Peel Stage in the palm of their hands.

10) Father John Misty romances everyone

How should we finish this round-up? With the one man whose ego is so big he'd want us to! No, not Liam, but loverman Father John Misty - a bearded Lothario who is rapidly becoming every indie fans' number one live act. Easily the perfect track to get you ready for Sunday's Glasto. Can we take another day this good? Get some sleep and get ready for more!
