The Royal Albert Hall this afternoon put on a concert in honour of Raymond Gubbay, marking its own 150th anniversary and the 1500 concerts, operas and Ballets that Raymond has produced in the hall over half a century.

The celebrant, 76, made his own stage debut in the silent role of Sweeney Todd, being sung at by Susan Bullock.

The BBC Concert Orchestra performed under Barry Wordsworth’s baton and a Classic FM announcer carefully mispronounced every single foreign word and name. All in a good cause.
