Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were greeted by singer Jessie J and Andrew Lloyd Webber as they arrived at this year's Royal Variety Performance.

The Duchess looked elegant in a blue gown, while the Prince of Wales looked smart in an evening suit.

The glitzy night at the London Palladium - which is the show's 86th extravaganza -  was packed with stars of stage and screen.

Jessie J ditched her usual style for a glamorous, if revealing, white top and skirt as she shook hands with the prince and Camilla.

Jessie, who had her hair shaved off for Comic Relief earlier this year, sported a 20s style short to top off her look.

Prince Charles has represented the Queen at this year's performance, which will be screened on ITV in two weeks time, and is hosted by Liverpudlian comedian John Bishop.

The show, which is a huge gig for any star to present, has previously been hosted by funnymen Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre and David Walliams.
