The Manic Street Preachers played a massive greatest hits set at the O2 Arena on Saturday night...

The National Treasures show saw the trio play all 39 singles from their career over two sets.

The band picked up the Xfm Inspiration Award at last week's Winter Wonderland.

Following an acoustice set on stage at O2 Academy Brixton, lead singer James Dead Bradfield told Xfm he was looking forward to playing some of the older stuff.

"There's lots of songs that we haven't played for just under ten years,stuff like The Love of Richard Nixon - not one of the favourites in the Manics back catalogue - but we've kinda grown to love some of these songs again. it's great."

The O2 Arena show is expected to be the bands last gig for a couple of years.
