Van Morrison: Thousands of people attend Cyprus Avenue concerts

Van Morrison marked his 70th birthday on Monday with two concerts on Cyprus Avenue in east Belfast.

Around 3,000 people attended the shows on the street that the singer immortalised in song.

Fans travelled from across the world to attend the gigs, which are the climax of the EastSide Arts Festival.

Morrison played hits such as Moondance and Brown Eyed Girl for the crowd, which included celebrities such as actors Robert Pattinson and Kim Cattrall.
