Viewers of the Royal Variety Performance couldn't help but share their emotional reaction as a tribute to the Queen was made. The annual event took place earlier this month but was officially aired on ITV on Tuesday evening (December 20).
The star-studded entertainment show, which fundraises for the Royal Variety Charity and has been a key event in the Royal Family calendar since 1912, was this year hosted by comedian Lee Mack and featured performances from Ellie Goulding, David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and Britain’s Got Talent's winning comedian Axel Blake.
The array of acts performed in front of Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, at the Royal Albert Hall. But as the first Royal Variety to take place since Queen Elizabeth's death on September 8 this year, the late monarch was honoured with a special tribute during this year’s show.
