Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon reunite for a stunning Pyramid Stage show on the final night of the 2009 festival....

Glastonbury 2009 drew to an impressive close last night with a hugely-impressive set from headliners Blur. Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree appeared at Worthy Farm for the first time since 1998 and delivered a career-spanning set.

Kicking off with the 1994 hit 'Girls And Boys', Albarn led the band through Blur's greatest hits, including 'There's No Other Way', 'Tender', 'Beetlebum', 'Country House' and the inevitable 'Song 2'. There were also a smattering of album track, including 'Badhead', 'Jubilee' and 'Oily Water', plus live favourites such as Chemical World', 'Popscene' and 'This Is A Low'.
