COMEDY GREATS CELEBRATE CHARLES' 60TH
Prince Charles was most amused last night after a host of comedy greats performed at a special show to celebrate his 60th birthday.
Charles was accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry who, along with an enthusiastic audience at the New Wimbledon Theatre in south London, were entertained by the likes of Robin Williams, Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese as part of the 'We Are Most Amused' comedy night.
The performance was Williams' first major UK appearance for 27 years and had the royal guests in stitches.
However, apart from his opening greeting of "Wassup Wales? House of Windsor keeping it real", he left the royals alone, concentrating more on the recent US election.
Bill Bailey, with his fusion of music and comedy, also had the royals and the rest of the audience in hysterics.
However, the highlight of the evening was when Williams and Bailey joined together to sing about how difficult it must be for Prince Charles to live in the shadow of the Queen.
Also taking to the stage was recent BBC Radio 2 row actor Andrew Sachs, who reprised his role of Manuel from 'Fawlty Towers' to appear in a sketch with John Cleese.
Rowan Atkinson also impressed, reprising an old favourite - his bumbling 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' vicar delivering a sermon.
The other comedians on the bill included Joan Rivers, Michael McIntyre, Stephen K Amos and Omid Djalili.
Meanwhile, impressionist Jon Culshaw took turns as, among others, Simon Cowell and George W Bush.
And Alistair McGowan and actress Amanda Holden performed a sketch considering the difference between newsreading today and when Charles was born in 1948.
The show was brought to a close by Cleese's Monty Python co-star Eric Idle who appeared on stage in the middle of a strange ballet...
