Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall, 65, was the first big name to join Rod on stage, performing If You Don’t Know Me By Now.
Not long after, his old mucker from The Faces, Ronnie Wood, 78, rocked out on stage along with Glaswegian powerhouse Lulu, 76, for a rip-roaring version of Hot Legs.
At one point, age-defying Lulu quipped she and Rod made a perfect pairing and apologised to his wife Penny Lancaster.
The expensive show, estimated to be £300k and featuring costume changes and scantily clad backing dancers, delivered the goods.
One viewer wrote: “Rod Stewart. 10 out of 10. One of best Legends slots in #Glasto history. Nailed it.”
Another said: “What a set by Rod Stewart, not easy to get through a 1.5 hour set, especially at 80.”
A third posted: “Rod Stewart is still better than anything else that’s been on at Glastonbury all weekend. 80 year old. Ronnie Wood 78 years old. These British Rockers just dont die do they.”
Rod belted out 21 tracks during his extended set, ending with a poignant Sailing.
Elsewhere, there was Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?, Young Turks, Forever Young and covers of Proud Mary and It’s A Heartache.
And Glasto founder Michael Eavis had a cameo appearance at one stage after being pushed onto the stage in his wheelchair by daughter Emiy.
Rod, dressed in a Barbie pink suit, greeted him with a big hug and told him he could stay out if he wanted to.
