Daisy Edgar-Jones went full cool girl in a grey minidress and oversized jacket paired with a shoulder bag, switching up her look for the field with a pair of knee-high Hunter wellies, a nod perhaps to the rain-drenched events of previous years.

“One who just totally rocks, with his Chuck Berry riff and the way he punched Biff. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Michael J Fox,” Martin told the audience, referring to Fox’s beloved rome in the Back to the Future franchise.
