In the first spectacular event ever to take place at the Tower of London; the stage was specially constructed to mark the celebration. Garnered with a magnitude of multi-coloured lights as well as an impressive back drop of plasma screens; it served as the perfect platform to showcase some of the biggest names in the music biz.

Hosting the night was the luscious Cat Deely alongside quirky northern duo Ant and Dec. With a plethora of musicians, The Bee Gees kicked off the event, reverting to the sounds of the 70's with 'You Should Be Dancing'-a track that had audiences flocking in vocals. Churning out riffs on his turquoise guitar, Barry Gibb gave a superb relay of the bands notorious hits- boldly demonstrating his superior vocal techniques.

With the crowd beckoning for more, Annie Lennox's presence was far more engaging then expected. Taking full advantage of the grand stage, she jilted across in a two-step maneuver singing, 'Walking on Broken Glass' and 'There Must Be An Angel'. As she closes in on her set, the faders are dropped to a mellow tempo and instantaneously the crowd's focal point is drawn to Annie and her piano. The charismatic lyrics, 'Is it raining near you' sees a cheeky grin from Annie, as the audience applauds her on her irony; hoping the rain will steer clear of the event.

Amidst the legendary acts, Will Young, Natasha Hamilton, Pink, Mcfly and Ronan Keaton went beyond their bounds exerting a riveting range of old classic renditions as well as their latest material. Patriotism filled the air as Embrace chants their first ever live performance of the England's world cup song, 'The World Is At Your Feet'. This was doubled up by their pioneering track, 'Ashes'.

Expanding the rock theme to its limit, Ozzy Osbourne's euphoric entrance heightened the atmosphere. The Prince (not Charles) but of darkness brashly grabs the mic and pounds out to the lyrics of 'Paranoid'. Far from their usual unhinged fans of mosh pits and head bangers; the band continue in their rock n' roll stride with their hair locks swooning to and fro. As Ozzy interplays with the crowd, the reception is widely received - glow sticks are flung high and those seated are no longer.

To end the event on a high note (excuse the pun) Lionel Richie roars, "Are you ready ….scream…." and goes straight into, 'Dancing On The Ceiling" followed by the heart felt, 'Hello'. But as the crowd jeers for more; Lionel couldn't do a finale without the hip shaking, soul swerving, 'All Night Long'. With fire works on show to commemorate the Prince's trust big 30-the event certainly went out with a big bang.
