Coldplay lit up the O2 as the closing act

I've got something in my eye, I swear! Playing songs from across their entire discography - from 'Paradise' and 'A Sky Full of Stars' to 'We Pray' out of their newest album - Coldplay wowed us with their #CapitalJBB set.

We loved every moment, but we'd have to say it was when Chris Martin sang their 2008 hit 'Viva La Vida' that he truly got everyone in the arena up on their feet.
