Stevie Wonder ended Bestival 2012 on a high, performing a set of some of the best known songs ever written to close this year's festival.

Wonder, who hit the headlines earlier in the week after suggesting many gay people were merely 'confused' by their sexuality, ended the three day festival on Isle of Wight following headline sets from New Order and Florence + The Machine in the days previous.

Performing his own hits such as 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours', 'I Can Feel It All Over', 'Uptight' and 'Superstition' Wonder also performed covers of John Lennon's 'Imagine' and 'The Way You Make Me Feel' by Michael Jackson.

Wonder's set ended with a crowd pleasing triple header of 'I Just Called To Say I Love You', and 'Happy Birthday'.

Other performances throughout the final day of Bestival came from Sigur Ros, Bat For Lashes, Friendly Fires and TEED amongst many others.
