ELLIE Goulding, One Direction, Dame Shirley Bassey and comedian Michael Mcintyre can be seen gracing the same stage tonight for the annual Royal Variety Show.
Goulding, the singer behind hit-single Anything Could Happen, appears in an extraordinary 600ft-long gown which took three people five whole days to construct.
In the pre-recording she belted out ballads How Long Will I Love You and Explosions in front of a crowd including Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
The 27-year-old Herefordshire-born and former Kent University student said: "The Royal Variety Performance has had the most unbelievable list of iconic performers take part over the last 100 years."
"To be able to be a part of this incredible event is truly an honour."
Also on the set list is One Direction, Dame Shirley Bassey, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Bette Midler, Mcintyre on hosting duties, Jack Whitehall, Sarah Millican, Russell Kane, McBusted, the multi-award winning musical cast of Miss Saigon, critically acclaimed tenor Alfie Boe, Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Inala, Trevor Noah, magician Stephen Mulhem and Britain's Got Talent winners Collabro.
Money raised from the event goes to the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund.
The show is on ITV1 tonight at 7.30pm.
