In pictures: Tom Jones in Pontypridd

Huge crowds gathered early in Ynysangharad Park to grab a good spot for the homecoming of Tom Jones .

All eyes on stage as fellow Welsh stars paid tribute on video, while clips of the rugby Grand Slam win whipped up excitement.

He's 65 on 7 June, but to his fans he's still the Sex Bomb of one of his biggest recent hits.

Hang on... it's not him in the crowd, surely... but which man wouldn't want to look like Tom Jones on a night like this?

Classical performer Katherine Jenkins wishes Tom Jones a sweet 65th birthday with a song and a huge cake.

No doubt about the star of the show, according to the big screen next to the stage.

You didn't have to be right at the front to enjoy the full Tom Jones experience as the night wore on.
