The highly-anticipated reunion of the much-loved 90s sitcom Friends has finally been released, and fans have been taking to social media to gush about how emotional it has made them.
Read John Byrne's review of Friends: The Reunion here.
A special reunion episode sees the six leading cast members, Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), Matthew Perry (Chandler) and David Schwimmer (Ross), head back to the show's original set for a trip down memory lane.
The special blend of magic and on-screen chemistry this group of actors generates has not diminished since the show first aired back in 1994.

The bloopers were another high point.
My favourite parts were the bloopers and the scene readings they did! ????

The love they have for each other and each other's work is wonderfully moving! ??
Also the apartment game, the guest stars, people behind the making, the directors & producers, amazing! #FriendsReunion pic.twitter.com/sTZi5MJWIy
