Puttin' on the Styles

POP SUPERSTAR SHOWS WHAT MAKES SLANE BEAUTIFUL

- SHANE POWER

HARRY Styles wooed 80,000 fans and silenced his critics with a show-stopping set at Slane Castle last night.

The former One Directioner, 29, had the capacity crowd - young and old - in the palm of his hand as he owned the stage and belted out anthem after anthem.

Harry mania descended on the Meath village from dawn as mega fans started queuing as early as 5am, six hours before the gates opened.

Gardai did their best to keep the traffic flowing as a sea of feather boas and cowboy hats steadily filled a sold-out concert from midmorning.

Amy, 19, from Coolock in North Dublin, gushed: "I can't believe he's here. There's nobody like him. This is going to be epic."

Another super fan, Ciara Campbell, from Lucan in Co Dublin, made the trip by bus with her friends and predicted "the gig of a lifetime".
