The former Take That singer's Long 90's tour sold out The Halls in no time at all, and the lucky fans who secured tickets - plus plenty of those who didn't - queued up outside the Wolverhampton venue hours in advance of the show on Monday night (February 9).

The consensus was that the show was well worth the wait, Williams blending old favourites and material from his new project BRITPOP with his trademark cheek and sending the whole crowd home with a nostalgic buzz.

For Sian Temple the night was "Nostalgia 101". She said: "Rob wanted to do these 'little' gigs to see himself come full circle since his younger days - and he took us with him. It was a really moving experience to hark back to my teenage years, and his. Thanks for the memory lane evening."

Donna Louise Finch said: "Incredible night. So glad I got to be there! Best gig - and I've been to a few."

Lindsey Underhill was among those feeling the effects this morning of queueing up ahead of time, but didn't mind: "Fantastic show, aching now but worth the queuing from 2.30pm."
