Sophie Ellis-Bextor dedicated a moment of her Glastonbury main stage performance to her husband and bassist Richard Jones, as Sunday marked their 18th wedding anniversary.
The singer took to the Pyramid Stage at midday on the final day of the festival in a sparkly gold bodysuit with fringed sleeves to treat thousands of fans to an energetic collection of her hits - backed by Jones and the rest of her band.
As she introduced her song Young Blood, Ellis-Bextor said it was a "very special day", as she was performing on the Glastonbury main stage as well as it being a significant day for the couple.
She told the crowd: "This song is possibly the most romantic song I've ever written.
"It came out of a conversation I had with my mum, because she was married to my lovely step-dad John for over 30 years, and she said this lovely thing how when you first fall in love with someone, no matter how many years go by, you still see each other the age you were when you first met, and this is a song that came out of that."
The singer revealed that she gave her husband a card for the day but that he had given her a ring with today's date engraved on it to mark the moment.
"I'm hoping I can make it up to him by dedicating this song to him today," she added.
Jones, the bassist from pop band The Feeling, and Ellis-Bextor married in Italy in 2005 and became parents shortly after.
They share five children together: Sonny, Kit, Ray, Jessie, and Mickey.
Ellis-Bextor hailed Glastonbury as the "best festival on the planet" and said her job was to build up the energy for the "magic day" of Sunday.
"Thank you for being so gorgeous. Can you apologise to the other artists like Cat Stevens and Elton for all the tinsel I've left on the stage?" she asked.
"But I did check and my boobs haven't popped out, so that's a bonus."
