Proper news from Britain - News from Britain you won’t find anywhere else. Not the tosh the big media force-feed you every day!
Liam and Noel Gallagher finally reunited on stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium as the first night of the long-awaited Oasis reunion tour left fans in tears.
More than 75,000 fans watched history be made as Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, appeared for the first time on stage together in 16 years on Friday.
The once-warring Gallagher brothers proved their years-long feud was well and truly behind them as they stepped out on stage hand-in-hand to kick off the show.
Throughout their set, they wowed fans with a whole litany of their top hits, including Some Might Way, Morning Glory and, of course, Wonderwall.
The thousands of fans packed into the stadium were overwhelmed by the momentous occasion as many were reduced to floods of tears, while celebrities including Danny Dyer, Vernon Kay and Rob Brydon also attended the epic night.
In fact, the show was so popular that even more eager fans crammed outside the stadium in the Welsh capital in a bid to listen to the sought-after set list after failing to nab tickets themselves.
The epic opening night certainly seemed to be worth the 16-year wait as concertgoers took to social media to laud Oasis for their 'amazing' and 'lifechanging' performance.
Kicking off the show, Liam and Noel walked out with their arms around each other in a sweet display of unity, before they proudly gazed on at the crowds, who erupted into rounds of deafening applause.
'Manchester vibes in the area,' Liam said before kicking off the show with Hello, which serves as the opening track for their 1995 classic What's The Story (Morning Glory).
They then went into Acquiesce - a song from their first 1995 album, which was followed by the iconic Morning Glory - the titular song of the second studio album.
No doubt overwhelmed by the fans, Liam shouted out: 'Yes beautiful people! It's been too long.'
Liam then ordered the crowd to 'turn around and bounce' ahead of Cigarettes and Alcohol.
After performing Some Might Say, Bring It On Down and Fade Away, Liam went off for a rest, while Noel performed his acoustic version of Talk Tonight.
Then Noel appeared emotional as he performed Half The World Away and even stopped singing for a few bars at one point, with the audience being equally as overwhelmed by the moment.
Liam later said: 'Are you having a good time?' before addressing the Ticketmaster chaos in a cheeky quip as he said: 'Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket.'
Tickets were meant to start at £74.25 for seated tickets at their Wembley shows, with the most expensive ticket being a £506.25 pre-show party.
However, screenshots from the Ticketmaster website offering In Demand standing tickets being listed for hundreds of pounds each.
Throughout their various sets, poignant pictures of the family's home in Manchester flashed up on the screen along with baby pictures of both brothers.
Old black and white pictures of their mum Peggy and dad Tommy were also flashed in the screen from time to time as Stand By Me played.
They ended the show with Rock n Roll, but fans cheers for an encore, with the pair strolling back out, with two of their fan favourite hits still to come.
The crowds went wild as they belted out Wonderwall and the brothers became very emotional as they began to close down the show.
'Thanks for putting up with us over the years. We're hard work. We get it,' he gushed.
They then rounded off their first gig in 16 years with legendary track Champagne Supernova.
While the crowd remained largely peaceful and calm throughout, a few individuals were seen escorted out from the standing area by security guards.
Oasis were supported by Richard Ashcroft and Cast as they made sure to wow fans on the first night of their reunion tour, setting the standard high for their world dates.
In a touching tribute to Oasis, Richard said as he arrived on stage: 'So glad to be here with the greatest rock 'n' roll band. When I heard Oasis were reforming I thought I was in it!'
Richard's former band The Verve toured with Oasis back in the early days, and Noel was spotted in the crowd ahead of his own performance to catch some of Richard's set.
The Gallaghers' families came out to support the brothers on their big night too, with Noel's ex-wife Meg Mathews and daughter Anais spotted in the crowds.
Anais was seen sharing a hug with Noel before he took to the stage and she was later pictured throwing her arms in the air as she danced the night away.
A source told the Mirror: 'After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band. She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals.'
Oasis also dedicated their opening night to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car crash in Portugal with his brother Andre on Thursday.
An image of Diogo's No 20 Liverpool shirt flashed up on screen as Live Forever played, while a fan held up a Portguese flag in honour of him.
Liverpudlian indie rock band Cast also paid an emotional tribute to Diogo as they kicked off the Cardiff show.
Frontman John Power took a moment to pay tribute to Diogo as he dedicated their song Walkaway to the star after his tragic death.
In an emotional moment, he said: 'This is Walkaway. This one is for Diogo Jota. Take it easy brother.'
The Portuguese sportsman and his brother Andre, 26 - who played for Portuguese second division side Penafiel - both died on Thursday following a tragic car crash.
His Lamborghini Huracan had a tyre blow out while overtaking another vehicle on the A-52 at Cernadilla near Zamora - just ten miles over the border from Portugal.
The £180,000 car is said to have rolled and burst into flames, with emergency services unable to save the footballing duo. No other vehicles were involved, police have said.
The siblings were heading to Santander to catch a ferry to Britain after Diogo was advised not to fly following lung surgery, it was reported in his home country.
Jota's untimely death sent shockwaves through the footballing world and fans have gathered in their hundreds to lay and pay tribute to the 28-year-old.
The tragedy came just days after Jota married his new wife Rute Cardoso - who he shares three young children with - on June 22.
After 16 years, Liam and Noel have finally reunited for 41 shows across Europe and the 900,000 fans who have eagerly snapped up tickets will not be disappointed with the set list.
The streets of Cardiff were 'electric' ahead Oasis's opening night with Wonderwall blasting from work vans while superfans are queuing up to purchase bucket hats and T-shirts.
Patrick Foley and his 10-year-old son, Alex, who is a self-proclaimed superfan, had travelled from Stroud to be there for the 'monumental' moment.
Alex said: 'I have been a fan for six to seven years, when my dad played a song I just fell in love with them, I'll remember this forever.
'I would rather be here than the Man United Champions league final, it's a once in a lifetime.
'Everyone at school thinks I'm really cool. I woke up at 3am because I couldn't sleep I was so excited to see Liam.
Despite being a longstanding superfan, it is Patrick's first gig and said: 'I wouldn't rather be with anyone else than my son.'
Standing next to his wife Holly, 31, Welsh superfan Jarreth, 33, told MailOnline: 'This is bigger than my wedding day. Well I can't say that, it's the top three. It goes wedding day, birth of our daughter Lila, who is named after the Oasis song, and then today.
Holly added: 'The atmosphere here in Cardiff is electric. There's never been a build up like this before, like this is way bigger than Taylor Swift when she came to Cardiff.
'We said that if Oasis ever got back together we would have to be there.'
The superfan couple spent more than £450 on Oasis merchandise, with two T-shirts and a bucket hat.
Glen, 42, a window cleaner from Essex who charges £1,000 as a part-time professional Liam Gallagher look-a-like, has been inundated with overexcited fans taking selfies.
He told MailOnline: 'I got up this morning with a buzz. I think it's going to take off for the next three or four months, it's going to be massive, it's going to be Supersonic.
'I was here last July watching Noel at Cardiff Castle and you never would have thought a year later we'd be back here watching Oasis in the main stadium.
'You'd never believe it, it was just getting longer and longer, it was getting to the point but they're in their prime to do it now, they're not too old.
'There's been nothing like Oasis since the nineties so it's nice that the next generation get to see them, it's the perfect time for them.
'This is going to be one of the biggest things that has happened in our lifetimes. This is going to be something that people have never experienced before
'I got to see them in Nebworth in 2000, when I was 17. People genuinely think I'm Liam Gallagher so I've been taking a few selfies.'

He continued: 'I've got Manchester next week, Wembley and then LA. I did my first lookalike event yesterday, I did a photoshoot in the Marstens pub in Cardiff, I've always turned it down.
'But now obviously they're back I have to do it, everyone is loving Oasis at the moment so it's nice to help people get in the spirit, so I'll be busy all summer. They're fun to be fair and it's good I'm going to be gigging around.'
Another fan, Luciana Barba, 44, had spent £1,000 to travel from Argentina to watch Oasis on Friday and Saturday night, admitting she had spent up to £3,000 on merchandise.
'Today is the day,' she told MailOnline.
Ahead of the highly-anticipated evening, footage and pictures from a special drone show over Cardiff Principality enticed.
The duo lit up the sky with brightly coloured drones which spelt out the word 'OASIS'.
