An emotional Robbie Williams brought the Isle of Wight Festival to a sparkling close on Sunday night.

After a hit-filled set the star closed the four-day festival with a heartfelt speech, in which he thanked his wife and fans for helping him overcome his struggles with depression and addiction.

The pop legend ended the night with a surprise encore sing-along with the crowd.

Earlier in the day, Blondie, Niall Horan and Mika also took to the main stage.

Other headline acts over the weekend included Britpop legends Pulp who played the festival for the first time in 12 years as well as The Chemical Brothers and singer-songwriter George Ezra.

Around 55,000 people attended the sold-out event at Seaclose Park in Newport.
