Mr. Cumberbatch at Jubilee Songs at the Royal Albert Hall 2012 (SCOOP IT!)

'Master of Ceremonies, Benedict Cumberbatch [The Park, 1990] introduced the songs and kept everyone entertained with his linking comments.

'Extracts from the Introduction to Songs:

'The last event I was invited to at the Royal Albert Hall was the Royal World premiere of Skyfall to join Prince Charles, Daniel Craig, Dame Judy Dench, Javier Bardem and Sam Mendes. I had to decline because as I really only had the time and the energy for one truly glamorous evening at this inspiring venue.

'I sought out some MC'ing advice from another Queen.

'Bess in Queen Elizabeth sat one day verse 3
Marry come up says good Queen Bess
draw it shorter and prose it less
speeches are things we chiefly bless
When once we have got them over

'So here we are and what an occasion. I’m truly honoured to be your MC for the Jubilee Harrow School Songs in the majesty of the Albert Hall.
