Droves of Beliebers were furious last night after their hero arrived on stage to his first of four London shows nearly two hours late. The Canadian pop-tyke eventually took to the stage at about 10.30pm, considerably past the bedtime of a large section of his most ardent fans.

Doors for the gig opened at 6.30pm - with droves of fans queuing at the Greenwich venue hours in advance - and the venue had begun erupting in boos by the time Bieber eventually took to the stage at 10.20pm and played until midnight, well after many parents had taken their children home.

As is so often the case nowadays, fans took to Twitter to vent their frustrations. "Surely if you're a kids entertainer you know they won't be able to stay up late?", wrote one angry Tweeter.

Biebs has yet to make his feelings known about this on his own Twitter account but you can be sure that his public relations team are working double time this morning and it won't be long before some sort of grovelling apology is made.
