Plug pulled on Sir Paul McCartney

This is at the end of a 3 hour set! Only one person to blame for bad timing. He did it at Glastonbury, he'll do it again - but hey look at the publicity he is getting for nothing!

Some fans quoted by Channel 4 News:

Tom McKay said: "Would one more song really have inconvenienced Westminster Council that much? I'm sure they have better things to do on a Saturday night when two rock legends were just trying to bring a little sunshine to a miserable Summer in a seemingly miserable country!"

Stuart Stringer said he was "surprised, shocked and totally bemused as to how and why they did that last night".

He added: "Two living legends vs Jobsworth, and who won? Only in England, saddened to say."

Bang on guys. Miserable, joyless country. Miserable, joyless jobsworths. 10 more minutes, that's all we wanted. 10 bloody minutes. Too much to ask in London, too much to ask in England. Stuff it, stuff the lot of you. If Bruce never comes back to London it serves you right, I'll happily go see him in countries like Spain, France and the USA where they understand his worth.

Springsteens guitarist admitted that if they were allowed to continue, it would have been 11pm by the time they finished

Oooh, 11'o'clock! Horror of horrors! Staying up beyond a child's bedtime obviously an offence now in London.

I bet he plays mostly indoor arenas though?

You lose your bet.

They should have left the music on but switched the lights off so he was dancing in the dark

And the Daily Mail's arch Nemesis, the dreaded Grauniad, agrees with the Mail:

The crowd's ecstasies turn to rage, however, when the PA system is cut silent halfway through a raucous La Bamba; a curfew's a curfew, but it's hard to shake the sense that Macca, the Boss – and indeed London – deserved better.

So a 10:50 finish would have been ok?

Oooh, 11'o'clock! Horror of horrors! Staying up beyond a child's bedtime obviously an offence now in London.

Perhaps 11p.m. then.

You seem a little starstruck. As you are on first name terms with him how about giving him a call and asking him to stick to agreed times or would his artistic bent be offended by that?

I'd miss Broocie, but if he just took Macca away with him, I think it would be a loss I could bear.....

Some little bloke from the Corpy, probably wearing a slightly ill fitting suit, carrying a clipboard, with a lanyard round his neck containing an id badge, memory stick, carpark pass (any any number of other important things) showed Springsteen who really is the boss.
