Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow reunite for charity

It was the emotional reunion Take That fans had waited 15 years to see.

Last night Robbie Williams finally took to the stage with his ex-bandmate Gary Barlow in a moving performance of their new single, Shame.

The pair famously fell out, causing Robbie, 36, to quit the band, but the feud seemed a distant memory when Gary, 39, stepped out three songs into Robbie's set.

Robbie introduced him saying: "This is one of the most amazing moments of my career, it's been 15 years in the making. "My wife calls him my boyfriend, I call him my captain, to you he's Mr Gary Barlow."

Taking a bow before his old chum, Robbie greeted him with a hug. Robbie opened his set with Let Me Entertain You, and performed Come Undone, Feel and Angels as well as his new duet in front of 60,000 fans - Prince Harry among them - at Twickenham Stadium in London for the concert in aid of Help for Heroes.

The line-up also included Tom Jones, Alexandra Burke and Pixie Lott. Robbie told the BBC: "As soon as we apologised to each other we were on the floor laughing about something else. Personally right now it's a brilliant story for me. I'm in love with everything again. The missus, got me band back, got me life back.

Take That's Robbie Official Wedding Picture

The wedding took place at the Take That star's Beverly Hills home in front of 60 guests who were told they were attending a James Bond-themed party until moments before the ceremony started.

There was no best man, no hen party and no stag night. The guests tucked in to a traditional English breakfast of bacon, eggs and baked beans.

"The only thing that's traditional about the wedding is the cows," Williams toldHello!magazine, which features the nuptials over 35 pages.

Field, 31, said: "Our doggies are taking the bridesmaids' roles. I was originally thinking little bow ties for them, but instead they're going to each have flower collars."

According to the magazine, Williams "brought the house down with a spontaneous performance of his hit songs Angels, which brought guests to their feet for a mass singalong".

The singer has been dating Field, an American actress who appeared in Days Of Our Lives, since 2006.

She wore a snow white Monique Lhuillier gown for the wedding and Williams said: "Ayda looked like the most beautiful girl in the world. The setting was so magical, and to be surrounded by family and close friends and then see Ayda appear looking so radiant was almost too much for me to take.

"I'm the happiest man alive."

The boyband have "buried the hatchet" with Williams, according to the Daily Mirror.

"Rob's looking really well at the moment. We went for dinner and he was telling us he's been chilling out," Jason Orange told the newspaper.

Orange stopped short of announcing a musical reunion with his former bandmate, however.

"[He's been] writing a lot, but nothing with us," he confirmed

Orange also joked about Robbie Williams' recent obsession with aliens and UFOs.

He said: "I don’t know if it's all [Williams' new material] about UFOs, but he'll be bringing out something soon."

Robbie Williams quit Take That in 1995, before the band split for the first time in 1996. They reunited without Williams in 2005.
