After tweeting his thanks to the band after the stunning spectacle - which include fireworks during the rendition of Rule the World - he was thanked by band member Howard Donald, who said: 'Thankyou sir!'

Mr Humphrey also tweeted pictures of himself at Carrow Road, with the performances going on in the background.

Among the fans in today's queues were sisters Paula Pettitt and Tracey Ellis, from Bury St Edmunds, and Tracey's daughters Amy and Lottie. They started queuing at about midday and were wearing colourful flowers in keeping with the Wonderland theme. Paula and Tracey have been to almost every Take That tour and were excited to see Wonderland for the first time.

'There's no show like a Take That show, it's like a West End show and gig mixed together,' said Ms Pettitt.
