They say that all good things come in threes and the Take That trio proved that at their third Norwich concert in recent years.
After sell-out shows in 2017 and 2019, Take That returned to Carrow Road with This Life on Tour on Tuesday night.
Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald took fans on a trip down memory lane with sensational staging to match their timeless hits.

This included water fountains shooting into the sky, which accompanied Owen on catchy chart-topper Shine, and a sumptuous 60s-style TV set as a backdrop to older songs such as A Million Love Songs and Pray.
The trio packed the concert with humour, anecdotes and a healthy dose of dad dancing.
There may not have been razor-sharp choreography, but this was more than made up for with their ability to put on a spectacular show that provides pure escapism.
There is a reason that fans queue outside arenas and stadiums across the country for many hours (and sometimes days) to get close to the front.
Several of the songs in the setlist were from their most recent ninth album This Life, released last November.
I found a couple of these a little forgettable, but You and Me was a standout with its catchy hook and it got a great audience reaction.

Barlow's vocals were particularly strong throughout the concert, especially the high notes on Relight My Fire.
The show quite literally finished with a bang as Rule the World was accompanied by a dazzling fireworks display.
A special mention must also go to Olly Murs who warmed the crowd up in style.
His tribute to Caroline Flack before performing Dear Darlin' was also a touching moment.
It was an incredible night in Norwich and fingers crossed Take That will come back for a fourth time - just have a little patience.
