Take That wow the NEC

Thousands of screaming fans greeted Take That as they took to the stage at the NEC for the British leg of their world tour.

More than 14,000 boy band lovers flocked to the gig to see the group perform, as they returned from a stint of concerts across Europe.

Mark Owen said: "It's good to be back on home soil."

The foursome were complete again after Howard Donald joined the boys on stage, following a break from the Beautiful World Tour after suffering a punctured lung.

He said: "I am going to partake in the dancing. I'm going to see how it holds out. I think it will be OK. The doctor said it should be OK. I am so happy to be back in the UK."

Take That classic, Relight My Fire, was accompanied by a dramatic display of flames onstage as the group walked across a bridge suspended above the crowd.
