The Maccabee's played their last ever show on 1 July, and fellow artists have been sharing fond memories and well wishes for the band.

The five-piece announced that they were splitting in August 2016, barely a year after their fourth record Marks To Prove It made it to No.1 on the UK charts.

They played a series of farewell shows in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London, with an intimate show at Omeara to kick things off.

Mystery Jets, who supported the band during the farewell tour, wrote that they were trying "not to break the f down in tears" in the run-up to the last show.

Opening act Idles said it had been a "huge privilege to be asked to supprt them on their final shows, unbelievable, in fact. Always meet your heroes".

Foals, who had performed on the same stages as The Maccabees over the years, also expressed their support.

Frontman Yannis Philippakis wrote: "Forever thankful to @themaccabees for all the music they gave us. Peers, friends & brothers. Whatever comes next will be great."

Everything Everything tweeted that it was "very moving" to see their friends and contemporaries bow out with "extraordinary grace, finesse and dignity".

The band themselves said that the Alexandra Palace gig was "a very special thing".
