Kooks joined onstage by Kinks' Ray Davies at V Festival
Rock legend plays classic 'Victoria' in Chelmsford
The singer and guitarist joined the band halfway through their set for a rendition of his former band's 1969 track 'Victoria'.
Davies played rhythm guitar and alternated verses with The Kooks' Luke Pritchard in the speeded-up version of the track.
The Kooks recorded this year's 'Konk' album at Davies' London studio of the same name.
The band's set consisted of a selection of songs from their two albums, 2006's 'Inside In/Inside Out' and this year's 'Konk', as they played the Main Stage at the festival.
Along with 'Always Where I Need To Be', the best receptions from the packed crowd were reserved for singles 'Naïve', 'Ooh La' and 'She Moves In Her Own Way'.
