I really didn't expect this, you know, but perhaps David Bowie not being here had something to do with it?
4. But either way she got to hang out with Ronnie Wood.
5. Who wore red to match his wife... and the Q magazine logo, of course.
6. Robbie Williams won the Q Idol Award - and joked it had been made up to ensure he'd turn up.
7. And showed off his new hair.
8. Laura Whitmore came dressed as a sheepdog.

As always, thank fuck David Bowie isn't here.
12. Vampire Weekend won Best Act In The World Today.
13. Yet looked utterly scared at the prospect.
14. While Foals won Best Live Act and celebrated by pulling these faces.
15. Conor Maynard's eyebrow got stuck in one place.
16. Michael and Emily Eavis were handed the Best Event award for Glastonbury.
17. Pixie Lott and Sophie Ellis-Bextor added some girlie glamour to proceedings.
18. And Pet Shop Boys were handed the Outstanding Contribution To Music Award.
19. Their speech was of course the best of the afternoon.
A typically eloquent speech from Neil. Chris just leant forward and said "Cheers" before walking off. The very best double act.
