"Finally, the crowd were put out of their misery at 9.30 as the flanking screens to the sides of the stage rolled down to the strains of wartime classic ‘We’ll Meet Again’. A montage of shots from the band’s glory days rolled by, a visual document of the love story between Pete Doherty and Carl Barât, as the adored foursome strolled into view.
