Iron Maiden have released a video to thanks fans after their triumphant show at the London Stadium.

"So here we are West Ham's football ground, the London Stadium," says Maiden leader Steve Harris, famously a lifelong West Ham United fan. "But this is fantastic, obviously – for me especially – to be here, absolutely amazing."

The film then cuts to the Cart & Horses pub in Maryland, the venue that calls itself the Home of Maiden, having hosted early iterations of the band on several occasions, where some of the 75,000 fans who attend the show are gathering. The video also includes footage shot around and in the stadium itself, both before and during Maiden's set.

"I've enjoyed it here, it's a special occasion," concludes Harris. "Come on you Irons!"

The next show on the Run for Your Lives tour takes place this evening (June 30) at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. Full dates below.
