This week the DNC has seen a number of high-profile performances from Meryll Streep's inspiring words, Paul Simon's inclusive Bridge Over Troubled Water and Alicia Keye's stirring new song In Common.

All the performers have been consistent in their message: how it is time to see a woman elected as President.

Last night, Perry was a tour de force, inspiring the crowd to vote, saying she had "no formal education" but "I do have an open mind and I have a voice", before closing with fan favourite Roar and powerful new song Rise.

The star-studded evening ended with Vice President Joe Biden and President Obama delivering impassioned speeches against Donald Trump and for Hillary Clinton.
