They brought a festive party atmosphere to a packed crowd, as they blasted out dozens of their classic hits which form the basis of Hit Parade, their new definitive hits package.But before the crowd were treated to Suggs and Co, it was another trip back in time as Squeeze took to the stage to get things started.

A nattily dressed Glenn Tilbrook and fellow songwriter Chris Difford took the crowd on a tour of the band's 50 years of music making.
