Live and Let Die

Written by Tom Mankiewicz

Directed by Guy Hamilton

Hm The Queen has arrived at the Golden Jubilee Concert, taking her seat 90 minutes into the celebrations taking place in front of Buckingham Palace, and joining 100,000 revellers partying along the Mall.

The duty of kick-starting the show fell to Robbie Williams - bandmate of the evening's organiser Gary Barlow - who took to the floor for a suitably crowd-rousing rendition of Let Me Entertain You.

He later returned to the stage, showing his versatile abilities with a jazzy version of Mack The Knife - with lyrics suitably customised to honour the event, including references to Cheryl Cole and even Towie, and royal box incumbents Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
