The webmaster, north Bucks:

"The queue in the cattle market for tickets to see one of the world’s biggest bands (by then) was as much an event in itself with great camaraderie and not long to wait with the gig three days after going on sale. The gig was a triumph and saw Sting in playful and lippy form with sarcastic references to the Bodymist ad where he got stitched up and introducing Andy Summers as his mystery blonde for the benefit of Daily mail readers. Musically it was great too."

The Police subsequently went on to become one of the world's biggest bands. They played Aylesbury again at very short notice in July 82 as a warm up to their huge Gateshead Stadium gig resulting in an all night queue in Aylesbury Cattle Market. By 1984 the band had effectively split and played their last gigs in 1986.  Sting went on to have a hugely successful solo career. Apart from playing at each others weddings spontaneously (and still arguing judging by the Behind the Music programme, they reformed in 2007 and went onto play the UK's biggest arenas and Stadiums. In 2008 they will play their last ever UK gigs at the Isle of Wight Festival and then Hyde Park.
