Queen kicked off their European tour last night at the Brixton Academy.
The band performed to an audience of almost 5,000 fans at the first show of 25 across Europe in their first tour in almost two decades.
Featuring Free singer Paul Rodgers on lead vocals, they performed classics such as The Show Must Go On, Radio Ga Ga, We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You.
itv.com quotes drummer Roger Taylor as saying of the tour: "We're not doing it for the money although it helps, it's very nice.
"I think it's fulfillment, really. It is fun but it's our profession and it's what we're good at, so there's a lot of satisfaction in that."
