The Who headlined Glastonbury last night, closing the festival with a hit-packed set that included 'My Generation' 'Behind Blue Eyes' and 'Pinball Wizard'.

Taking to the stage slightly late after pushing forward their set time earlier in the day, the band gathered a slightly smaller crowd than the ones that came for Florence + The Machine and Kanye West, but still garnered an enthusiastic response.

Introducing 'Won't Get Fooled Again', Pete Townshend asked the crowd, "Who's the biggest rock star in the world?" - a thinly-veiled reference to Kanye West's claims to that title. The question elicited cheers from fans.

Meanwhile, The Chemical Brothers headlined The Other Stage - having already gone up against The Who at Glastonbury back in 2007. The band went over their allotted time with remixed versions of many of their songs, with taped appearances from Noel Gallagher, Q-Tip and Kele Okereke, but no special guests appearing onstage.

At one point during the band's set, a giant mechanical robot descended, shooting lights from its chest, while the band updated songs such as 'Setting Sun', 'Hey Boy Hey Girl' and 'Galvanize'.

Just to give fans an even trickier final Glastonbury decision, Ryan Adams headlined the Park Stage at the same time - opening with the biggest song from his latest self-titled album, 'Gimme Something Good'. He finished the set with his famous cover of Oasis' 'Wonderwall'.

Glastonbury 2015, which took place at Worthy Farm, Somerset, is now over for another year.
