The Best Damn Band in the Land proved itself to be The Best Damn Band in the World on Sunday in Wembley Stadium.

First, however, the band went marching down London's historical Regent street on Saturday:

Needless to say, this was without a doubt a better musical exportation than anything the Beatles ever produced. Seems like they won't have to buy a pint in London for awhile either:
