The final weekend of the On The Beach festival has come to a close after tens of thousands of revellers descended on the seafront.

International stars took to the stage for a second weekend to play hits old and new as the sun set over Brighton.

It kicked off with electronic group Above and Beyond hosting their famed (among ravers) Anjunabeach party - for the first time in the UK.

As Friday's rave came to a close, a weekend of rock music was brought in. 

Worthing lads Royal Blood blew the roof off of the stage - figuratively, of course - with their homecoming headline gig.

The booming rock duo wowed crowds with impressive pyrotechnic, light and visual displays, not to mention the sound.

Small mosh pits formed throughout the arena as the bass travelled through the pebbles and into each and every one of us as Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher - wearing a Seagulls shirt - played tunes old and new.

All good things must come to a close, but it is certainly better when the following day brings something just as great.

Songwriter and ex-Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher closed the festival in style with his High Flying Birds.

A slightly more subdued affair than Royal Blood, but Noel got the crowd singing and dancing along to hits old and new, interspersed with witty chit-chat between him and the audience.
