The Queen has had another brush with James Bond.

After her starring role alongside real Bond Daniel Craig in the Olympic opening ceremony, she saw comedian David Walliams play the spy on Monday night – flying down to the stage with a jet pack during this year’s Royal Variety Performance.

Father-to-be Walliams presented the 100th anniversary performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, which will be shown on British TV next month.

The Queen, who celebrated her 65th wedding anniversary yesterday, wore a heavily-beaded silver mesh lace evening dress embellished with crystal diamante, designed by Angela Kelly.

Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins kicked off proceedings by singing the National Anthem as the royals took their seats.

Host Walliams entered the hall to the James Bond theme while strapped to a jet pack to congratulate the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee, and to introduce the next act.

Newly-reformed Girls Aloud took to the stage in matching sequinned black and gold fishtail dresses, singing their hit single The Promise.

Legendary comedian Jimmy Tarbuck introduced a series of comedy clips of himself, Peter Kay and the cast of Only Fools and Horses entertaining in past Variety Performances. He also led a tribute to the late Eric Sykes.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden introduced past winners of the talent show in a museum-themed performance featuring dance troupe Diversity, comedy dancing duo Stavros Flatley and opera singer Paul Potts.

Boy band sensation One Direction sang a heartfelt-rendition of number-one single Little Things, prompting Walliams to dress up as an obsessed female fan.

Jenkins was then joined by opera superstar Placido Domingo to perform Come What May from musical Les Misérables.

Pop star Robbie Williams belted out new single Different and an orchestra-accompanied rendition of swing classic Mr Bojangles.

The show ended with a Bond medley and featured dog act Ashleigh and Pudsey doing a 007 theme.
