Those in attendance say they were blown away by his voice and ability to play the whole two-and-a-half hour show with no break and no support acts.

I heard Elton John sing Your Song for the first time at the Speakeasy Club in 1970 and it blew me away. Tonight he performed it at his last UK performance at my football club Watford and he blew me away again. #EltonFarewellTour pic.twitter.com/6IOpoXUQnB
