Take That also showed off their singing skills to celebrate the historical event.

Gary Barlow, 52, Mark Owen, 51, and Howard Donald, 55 took to the stage to perform some of their biggest hits from over the years.

But TWO times during their stint in front of the crowd, Gary hinted that there were going to be two special guests - and fans were CONVINCED that it was going to be ex-member Robbie Williams.

The first time around he announced that Robin Schulz was joining them, and then the trio were joined by Britain's Got Talent star Calum Scott.
