Opera lovers were bathed in evening sunshine in London's Hyde Park as Luciano Pavarotti and a stellar supporting bill entertained. More than 70,000 fans were transfixed by the rotund opera star's only UK performance this year.
The good weather contrasted with Pavarotti's emotional rain-soaked performance at the same venue before the Prince and Princess of Wales 10 years ago.
The concert, entitled Picnic with Pavarotti, helped raise £500,000 for the Prince's Trust with a donation from supermarket giant Safeway
