He might be 60 but Sting is showing no sign of slowing down.

The legendary singer was one of the lead acts at this year's Henley Festival, and proved that despite his advancing years, he still has the ability to delight his fans with renditions of some of his most famous tracks.

Literally bounding on to the stage at the event, held in a stunning location overlooking the water, Sting performed songs such as the ever-exciting Roxanne, the moving Fields Of Gold and the energetic Every Little Thing She Does In Magic.

Fans were also treated to a brief appearance from Madness singer Suggs, who made his way onto the stage for a brief interlude during the show.

Sting's performance was just one of the high-octane concerts which took place during the five-day festival.

Other performances came from Katherine Jenkins, Olly Murs, Alfie Boe and Lulu, as well as comedian Tim Minchin, who all delighted the crowds with their different styles.

The festival is quickly becoming known as one of the most exciting musical events of the summer.

As well as the concerts, the 24,000 guests at the Henley Festival had their pick of culinary delights and thirst-quenching concoctions from names such as Veuve Clicquot and the delicious Patrón tequila, who came up with a variety of cocktails to keep festival-goers and performers alike refreshed during the festival.

Concoctions included the Patrón Cosmopolitan, the Patrón XO Cafe Frappe and non-alcoholic cocktail the Red Berry Smash.

Complete with a Black Tie dress code, the Henley Festival is definitely the festival of choice for the more discerning music lover.
