Plenty of celebrities in the audience - Robert de Niro, Nick Mason, Samantha Fox, Andrew Lloyd Webber, DJ Chris Tarrant, original cast of We Will Rock You and others. Brian played in BoRhap as always (during the final 'any way the wind blows' line a virtual Freddie was supposed to appear but in fact nobody saw anything. Roger played only in the last minute of Show Must Go On because according to his tweet, 'Spinal Tap moment for me drums failed to appear due to lift failure'.
