Queen and Adam Lambert last night paid tribute to the Orlando shooting victims and Freddie Mercury during an emotional Isle of Wight Festival headline show.

Guitarist Brian 68, said he wanted to "immortalise the moment" by taking a video selfie of himself with the crowd of tens of thousands before leading the audience in a poignant rendition of Love Of My Life with a video of Mercury finishing the song.

For Bohemian Rhapsody, a video of Mercury, who died in 1991, was also used for him to join with the band. Taylor, 66, led the singing for It's A Kind Of Magic. The band sang Who Wants To Live Forever as a tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting.

Lambert, 34, said: "This song is dedicated to those who lost their lives in Orlando, Florida, and anyone who has been a victim of senseless violence or hatred."
