Dressed in a crisp white shirt, Matthew looked relaxed and happy, while Ronnie brought the color in a bright blue patterned shirt.
The two seemed genuinely delighted to catch up, exchanging smiles and hugs before heading off to watch the show from the VIP section.
Family Affair for the Woods
Ronnie wasn’t alone either—his wife, Sally Humphreys Wood, and their twin daughters, Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, were all in attendance.

A Gentleman at Wimbledon Too

As Prince William and Princess Kate entered the royal box, he was captured on camera standing in respect, earning praise as a “lovely Southern gentleman.”

Stevie Wonder Brings the House Down
And then came the man of the hour—Stevie Wonder.
The music legend brought a powerful setlist to Hyde Park, drawing from a career that spans more than sixty years and over 100 million records sold.
Dressed in a white tunic stitched with portraits of John Lennon and Marvin Gaye, Stevie delighted fans with his charm and wit.
A Joke, A Tribute, A Message
At one point, Stevie tapped one side of his tunic and said, “This is Marvin Gaye,” only to realize he had pointed to John Lennon’s portrait.
With a laugh, he corrected himself: “I’m sorry y’all, I’m blind,” prompting chuckles from the massive crowd.
Opening with “Love’s In Need of Love Today,” Stevie reminded the audience of the power of love in a world too often filled with anger.
He went on to perform hits like “Master Blaster (Jammin’),” “Higher Ground,” and “You Are The Sunshine of My Life.”
A surprise cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” added a poignant touch to the night.
A Show to Remember
The evening wrapped with “Superstition” and “Another Star,” closing the night on a high.
Fans, celebrities, and families all shared in the magic of Stevie Wonder’s music, making the BST Hyde Park performance one for the books.
