The Queen celebrates her 92nd birthday in style with star-studded concert

The Queen took to the stage at her own star-studded 92nd birthday during an action-packed showbiz extravaganza at the Royal Albert Hall.

She was introduced by host Zoe Ball and arrived alongside her son, the Prince of Wales, before taking her seat next to grandson Prince William.

She was wearing a silver and gold lame with ivory tweed, dipped waist dress, covered with buttermilk daisies, designed by Angela Kelly.

She later joined Prince Charles on stage for the show's climax and was presented with a gift by a boy named Mason from west London, who was also celebrating his birthday.

The seven-year-old has always known he shared a birthday with the Queen and when invited to the event is said to have replied: "Would I like to go to the Queen's birthday? Well yes, obviously!"

Speaking on stage, Charles encouraged the crowd to give the Queen – who he called "mummy" – three "unbelievably rousing cheers".

He said: "I have a feeling that in 1948, when you were 22, you didn't somehow expect that at the age of your 92nd birthday, to find your son in his 70th year."

The event also saw Prince Harry, speaking for the first time in his role as president of the newly formed Queen's Commonwealth Trust, joke that Her Majesty was "not someone who is easy to buy gifts for".

Sir Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Sting and Shaggy and Craig David all took to the stage as the Queen and other Royals watched on.

However, she had left her seat by the time Sting and Shaggy returned for a medley of their biggest hits, including Mr Boombastic, Angel and Every Breath You Take.

In another unusual collaboration, Frank Skinner, Ed Balls and Harry Hill performed George Formby's signature song When I'm Cleaning Windows especially for the Queen, who is said to be a big Formby fan.

Artists from around the Commonwealth performed at the event, which topped off a week when the UK hosted 53 countries for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

The concert was organised by the Royal Commonwealth Society, of which the Queen is a patron.
