A source said: “Noel and Liam knew this film would stir up emotions, and for Noel it was such a beautiful moment. He was overcome by the reaction.
“Even Liam, who has all the swagger, had to take it in.”
Today the brothers return to the red carpet in Leicester Square, London, for the UK premiere.
Noel, 59, admitted last week he found watching the film so emotional he didn’t think he’d stay and see it again.

He said: “I was knackered watching it. There’s a lot of people crying in it.”
The Venice audience sang along to Champagne Supernova. Fans, including one with a Manchester City flag, gathered at the Palazzo del Cinema in the hope of seeing the brothers.
The pair laughed and joked before the start.
A fan shouted: “Venice, are you mad for it?” Grinning, Liam replied: “Oh yeah.”
The film covers Oasis’s 2025 comeback tour and the audience clapped every track.

As the credits rolled and the ovation started, Liam mouthed to Noel: “Should we f***k off?”
The film’s writer Stephen Knight told them to stay for autographs and selfies, gaining them another riotous reception.
Disney+ will stream the film later this year and hope it makes the Oscars shortlist.
Stephen said: “Very rarely do you get the chance to tell a story that is so emotional.
“They’re working-class men, they’re not going to show emotion, not even going to shake hands. We were very fortunate that’s what happened.
“From the very beginning we wanted to make this about reconciliation and redemption.”
Last week The Sun revealed dates and venues for Oasis’s 2027 tour.
Formal announcement is expected next week.
