The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a standing ovation at the Royal Albert Hall as they attended one of their final public engagements before they step back as senior royals.
The couple were treated to a sustained round of applause ahead of the national anthem, as they took their seats in the royal box at the London venue on Saturday evening.
They had been greeted warmly by members of the Royal Marines when they arrived at the South Kensington venue for the annual Mountbatten Festival of Music.
They were attending the event in Harry’s role as Captain General of the Royal Marines, and got the opportunity to meet the performers at the interval.
Backstage, a long corridor was lined on either side with uniformed band members, who at one point were joined by dancers in tall, red, showgirl style feathers.
They walked off stage hand in hand, and went to take their seats for the second part of the show.
During the performance, the audience were led in a singalong of hits sung by Sir Tom Jones including Delilah and It’s Not Unusual.
The concert, compered by broadcaster John Suchet, also featured Judy Garland classic Over the Rainbow, and the Gladiator film theme.
Mr Sheen, who was a member of the greeting party when the couple arrived on Saturday evening, added: “The reaction they got from the audience when they arrived was very emotional for the Royal Marines.”
