Model Lily Cole stole the limelight from the Queen and hundreds of other British celebrities at the most glamorous Jubilee event yet last night, when she attended a Diamond Jubilee celebration of the arts wearing a diamond tiara.

Bono, Joan Collins, David Hockney and Sir Paul McCartney were among the revellers gathered at the Royal Academy.

Addressing the Queen, Bono said: "I wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary magic that you made on your trip to Ireland last year."
