Guests flocked to Sadler's Wells earlier this week to watch the new revival of Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.

Bourne's piece, which first premiered in 1995 (going on to win the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and the 1999 Tony Award for Best Choreography), is now being revived and has the traditionally female parts of the swans danced by men. It also appeared in the final scene of Billy Elliot.

Guests at the evening included David Walliams, Darcey Bussell, Ore Oduba, Joanne Clifton, Stephen Fry, Arlene Phillips, Tom Daley, Beverley Knight, Mark Gatiss, Joe McFadden, Harry and Izzy Judd.

Swan Lake runs at Sadler's Wells until 27 January and will also tour until 25 May.
