Use your imagination. The latest one, some liked and some didn't, some found it boring. If you had to put together a Royal Variety Performance in front of Her Majesty the Queen, who would you have in it.?

You'd need at least two comperes and about 12-15 mixed acts. To make it more realistic, use living performers.

living performers - so that's Brucie out of the picture then :-D :-D

AnnC I am am just signing off to go to lunch with the ladies from my keep-fit class I am laughing so much I will have to share this ...

Hugs to you dear Ann for making me laugh :-D :-D

So no ideas then? Not meant to be a thread to knock the present performers and comperes, just wondered if you could do better.

Well I tried!!!

It's a good idea..........i just haven't got time to think about it at the moment.

I'm deffo having Brucie though!!

This performance is for the benefit of HM, not the public.

So I hope HM will read these ideas and comment herself.

I would have thought that her favourites would be entertainers she has given high honours to.

Dame Shirley, Sir Brucie, Lord Dickie, Dame Vera, Prince Philip, Sir Gary Barlow........ :-D ;-)

OK John, then come up with a programme.

Presenters

Lord Attenborough, more titles than HRH
James Davidson, OBE

Artists

Sir Bruce Forsyth, CBE (dancer)
Sir Thomas Woodward, OBE (singer)
Dame Vera Lynn (acrobat)
Petula Clark. CBE (still very nice)

Is that enough, Ann? Programme shaping up well, I think :-D

Ann, I've been trying to think ( lol) but not come up with anything as yet, however I went to google to see what performers were in their 'heyday' when the Queen was young ...thinking along the lines of that we all have favourites from our youth and a 'revival' of some of those acts by younger artistes might be nice ( for example I remember my mum saying she and a friend went to see Jack Buchanan and Jessie Matthews when they were in their late teens I believe).

In googling I came across quite by chance this very interesting site about where I was born :-) so thankyou!

Rose That is a good thought. Webster Booth and Anna Ziegler could be revived by The Proclaimers, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers by Ashleigh and Pudsey. Gracie Fields by Charlotte Church.

Mind is now racing with ideas :-D
