This is the classical concert held at Buckingham Palace, the London residence of Queen Elizabeth II, as part of celebrations to mark her 50 years as Queen in 2002.
Participants include the baritone Sir Thomas Allen, soprano Dame Kiri te Kanawa, and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. Younger performers included husband and wife team Roberto Alagna (tenor) and Angela Gheorghiu (soprano).
The only discordant note was that Michael Parkinson, as Master of Ceremonies, was ill-at-ease, and made a number of slips when introducing performers.
