Royal Variety Performance viewers found themselves reaching for the tissues this evening as the annual awards honoured the late Queen Elizabeth following her passing in September.
The late monarch, who showed a keen interest in the arts and attended 39 Royal Variety performances, was honoured with a special tribute in this year’s show which was hosted by comedian Lee Mack at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The Queen was honoured by composer Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber, singer Gary Barlow and choirmaster Gareth Malone who were accompanied by members of the London Youth Choir to perform a version of Sing.
