Beyoncé thanked her fans for letting her "evolve and grow" as she brought her Formation world tour to Sunderland on Tuesday evening.
The 'XOXO' hitmaker wowed crowds with an electric set list as she took to the stage at the Stadium of Light in north east England.

She told the 49,000-strong crowd: "I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Most of you met me 19 years ago when I was in Destiny's Child.
"Thank you for allowing me to evolve and grow. This next song is about the most important relationship we have in our lives and that is the relationship we have with ourselves."
The 34-year-old singer - who stunned in a range of costumes including a fitting black sequinned bodysuit - also admitted to fans she has had her heart broken before.
Whilst introducing track 'Me, Myself and I', she added: "Have you ever had your heart broken? I have."
However, Beyoncé angered fans when she appeared 45 minutes late on stage.
One wrote: "Beyoncé 45 mins late, fuming! ... We didn't pay over £300 for Beyoncé to be late on stage. (sic)" Whilst another added: "You could never be late to a concert. It is your job. Be on time. Especially when it is raining and freezing cold. Not impressed #beyonce. (sic)"
However, others were more sympathetic and just thrilled with the chance they could see her life.
They wrote: "45 minutes late but who cares, it's Beyoncé. In Sunders (sic)"
