Mumford and Sons rounded off the Glastonbury festival 2013 with their first-ever headline performance in front of 80,000 people.

The 90-minute performance of the band at Somerset's Worthy Farm ended with an all-star cover of 'A Little Help From My Friends,' the BBC reported.

Songs, including 'The Cave and I Will Wait', which is their only UK top 20 hit, triggered the audience hoedown from the front of the Pyramid Stage to end of the fields.

The show caps the band's meteoric rise from west London to the global stage, with multiple Grammy awards, US album sales of four million and appearances with Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.
