Superstar Sir Elton John rocked Colchester with a sensational show.

The flamboyant award-winning musician delighted the 16,000 fans who filled the Weston Homes Community Stadium last night.

The crowd rose as one as he opened the show and sang favourites including Benny and the Jets, Candle in the Wind and I'm Still Standing.

After Sunday's success, it is hoped more big names can be attracted to perform at the stadium.
