The Rolling Stones have performed their first British festival date in more than 30 years.

The band took to the stage at the Isle of Wight Festival after transporting their 200-strong tour entourage to the site by privately-chartered ferry.

It was their first appearance at a festival since 1976's Knebworth Fair.

Amy Winehouse and Paolo Nutini appeared for duets, and the Stones walked up a telescopic catwalk to play in the middle of the 60,000-strong crowd.
