REMEMBERING 'SWEET CAROLINE' FLACKSTOCK STARS TAKE TO THE STAGE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO LATE FRIEND

Olly Murs is enjoying his first few days of married life and Pixie Lott is weeks away from giving birth, so it was testament to the deep affection the pop stars share for their friend Caroline Flack that they cleared their busy diaries to perform at Flackstock last week.

A little over a week after his festival-themed wedding, which was covered exclusively in HELLO!, Olly was once again in the carnival mood for his first gig as a married man.

And it was one very close to his heart as emotions ran high at the intimate day festival, held in the grounds of Berkshire's Englefield House in memory of Caroline.

Taking to the stage to give a heartfelt performance of Sweet Caroline, Olly who co-presented The Xtra Factor with the popular broadcaster - looked up to the sky before leading the 5,000-strong crowd, which included his new wife Amelia, in the song's rousing chorus.

Pixie, sparkling in a Barbie-pink dress and jacket, also took to the stage to honour her friend.

"Love you caza," the 32-year-old singer later wrote on Instagram of Caroline, whom she starred alongside in Strictly Come Dancing in 2014. "All the singing, dancing, live music, love and ultimate fest vibes is so you."
