Blackpool has seen plenty of changes since last hosting the Royal Variety Show more than 50 years ago. But none as noticeable as the performers on the bill.

Last night the Queen and Prince Philip were entertained by a leather-clad Lady Gaga, a stomach-baring X Factor winner and a 17-year-old in miniscule hotpants.

Back in 1955 the scene was a lot more restrained, with Morecambe and Wise, Arthur Askey and George Formby amusing their Royal audience.
