Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Mathews poses with her dad and daughter Anais at Oasis' first London gig in 16 years
The columnist and activist, 59, revealed she was among those who attended the historic gig - which saw the Britpop band return to perform at Wembley Stadium for the first time since their Dig Out Your Soul tour on July 12, 2009.
Meg kept it casual for the gig as she posed in a white and red striped Adidas bomber jacket, which she paired with a white t-shirt and matching jeans, as well as an array of gold jewellery.
In one snap, Meg posed with her dad Stanley, and her daughter Anais, who she shared with Noel.
In other clips shared to Instagram, Meg filmed herself with a group of pals in the crowd and appeared to be having the time of her life.
Ahead of the gig, Meg reminisced on Oasis's previous London gigs where she spoke about little Anaïs, then just seven months old, as being as proud of her dad then as she is now.

She said: 'Reflecting on 25 years ago when @Oasis rocked the stadium with 70,000 fans, and Franny fru fru, Pippy la la, Rose & Ra Ra, @lexyroche made it right to the front barrier don't know how we did it.
'Now gearing up for tonight's show with 90,000 attendees. Time flies, memories remain. Anaïs only 7 months old then to watching her now so proud of her dad , a full circle that was me just 2 years older than nai nai running around.
'Tonight will be a celebration of family and friends, a moment to cherish. Seated this time, but the excitement remains just as strong. Here's to another 25 years of music and memories.'
Oasis-fever officially hit London on Friday as the band return to the capital to play their first gig there in more than 16 years.
After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock and roll stars, fronted by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, will take to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium tonight.
Fans pitched up at the venue 12 hours before the start having paid at least £151 per ticket - but some have paid £564 or more for the best seats.
The band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening, starting with the gates opening at 5pm.
In other clips shared to Instagram, Meg filmed herself with a group of pals in the crowd and appeared to be having the time of her life

The night will kick off from 6pm with the rock band Cast, followed by singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm.
Oasis will then take the stage for a two-hour set at 8.15pm.
The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times.
The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company.
While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355.
The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.
After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.
Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together.
Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994 .
They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever.
Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.

Hannah Hampton reveals she launched rival goalkeeper's cheat sheet into the CROWD during Euros final penalty shootout in bid to help Lionesses team-mates
Hannah Hampton has hilariously revealed that she threw Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll's water bottle containing England's penalty information into the stands during the shootout in the Euros final. The match had gone to penalties after ending 1-1 in normal time, with Alessia Russo cancelling out Mariona Caldentey's early header. As Sarina Wiegman gathered her penalty takers into a huddle, Chelsea stopper Hampton was seen in conversation with a coach on the sidelines. Cameras picked up a piece of paper taped to her forearm, detailing the likely directions Spain's players would aim their penalties. Hampton has now explained how she turned the tables after noticing Coll's water bottle had been left unattended. Speaking to talkSPORT, Hampton said: 'The Spanish keeper had it (the penalty information) on her bottle, so I thought when she was going in goal, I'd just pick it up and chuck it into the English fans so she can't have it. 'I don't ever put it on a bottle because anyone can do that so I put it on my arm.' An incredulous Sam Matterface replied: Picked up her bottle and threw it?' And Hampton replied: 'Yeah, it wasn't hard. When she's gone in the goal, it's on its own isn't it? It's in the towel.' When Coll returned to her towel, she was visibly confused to find a replacement bottle – which Hampton had put there – but no notes, and was left searching for her original one. 'She was walking back to take the penalty and I was walking the other way and she was so confused, and I was just trying not to burst out laughing, being like, "I don't know what's happening!".' Matterface added: 'This is happening at the key moment in a penalty shootout for the title of European champions?' to which Hampton replied: 'Yeah, you've got to do something, haven't you?' England ended up winning the shootout, with Alex Greenwood, Niamh Charles and Chloe Kelly all converting from the spot as the Lionesses retained their European crown. Hampton meanwhile saved two penalties from Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati and Salma Paralluelo missed hers.

'Lineker's legs introduced me to Tottenham'
You have been sharing your stories and photos about why you love is a final selection of your submissions, but do make sure you scroll down this page to see all the best responses from throughout the week: Mark: Why do I Support the Spurs? I never really had a choice - Spurs is in my blood. My grandad, a lifelong fan from Tottenham, made sure I grew up on stories of legends like Dave Mackay and Jimmy Greaves, and saw magical moments like Ricky Villa's 1981 FA Cup final goal. He'd tell tales of White Hart Lane, when football was pure and you could pay at the gate. Supporting Spurs isn't about chasing glory - it's about family, tradition and identity. The game may have changed, but my love for Tottenham hasn't. Thanks, Grandad. It's not just football. It's who I am. Sara: I wasn't really interested in football until high school age. I didn't even understand the rules. That was till my friend, Sarah, became obsessed with Gary Lineker. Every inch of her room was plastered with pictures of him - you'd struggle to find the door with the light on."It was his legs" she reasoned. Curious as to why his legs were so special and whether all footballers had the same legs, I started watching the odd game on TV. I never got the answer, as I became hooked by something far less interesting - their high tempo creative style of play, exemplified by a young lad called Paul Gascoigne. It was exciting to watch. So I kept coming back for more, even when times were bad and way after Sarah had long given up on Lineker's so it was that I became a long-suffering Spurs fan. No regrets.

She said: 'I'm a huge fan and I have been since I was around 12 years old. 'This has been a lifelong dream of mine to see Oasis live, I never thought it was going to happen. 'I've never been to Edinburgh before, so it was an occasion to see the city and we figured Edinburgh would not be as crowded as London or Manchester. So, we managed to get tickets for here, but we would have gone anywhere. 'I'm really excited for the show and to hear the set list. It's going to be an amazing day.' Giulia Manni (Image: Newsquest) Florian Guidi, 33, travelled from the French island of Corsica. This is his first time in Scotland. He said: 'I'm so happy to be at this gig, I love Oasis and never thought I would get to see them live. It's a dream. 'I hope to hear Liver Forever, Supersonic, I want to hear them all.'

Edison Worth (Image: Newsquest) For Cian Fitzgerald, 45, these Edinburgh gigs are all about nostalgia. He said: 'I've seen Oasis multiple times in the 90s. 'I've heard from people that have already seen them on this tour that the atmosphere is brilliant, and everyone has had a great time, so hoping for the same.' Though Cian lives and works in the capital, this will be his first concert at the famous stadium. He said: 'This is my first gig at Murrayfield, I think it will be brilliant, and the atmosphere is cracking. Everyone has seen the set list and it's blinding.'
