While this year's Glastonbury was full of memorable moments, one of the most touching was Coldplay paying tribute to the late Viola Beach (pictured) during their headline performance.

Viola Beach were killed on tour last year, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin wanted to "recreate the band's future" by performing their 'Boys That Sing' during their headline set.

Check out a short clip of their performance below.
