A host of stars performed for the Queen at a special event to mark the monarch's 90th birthday.

Kylie Minogue, Katherine Jenkins and Gary Barlow were among those who sang on a night of military and musical displays in Windsor Castle's grounds.

The Queen's birthday was on 21 April, and formal celebrations will take place next month on her official birthday.
