This time around, Queen with Adam Lambert kicked off proceedings with ‘We Will Rock You’ before a catalogue of stars performed on an evening that provided something for everyone. 

Highlights of the concert included Alicia Keys performing her massive hits ‘Empire State of Mind’ (with lyrics changed from New York to London) and ‘This Girl Is on Fire’,  Duran Duran digging into their treasure chest of hits to perform ‘Notorious’ and ‘Girls on Film’, and Andrea Bocelli brought the crowd to its feet with a stirring ‘Nessun Dorma’.

Even with Diana Ross topping the bill, arguably the biggest star of the night was the light show, with some dazzling images of the Queen projected onto the palace walls and other illuminations cast by drones across the London night sky.
