I have to buck the trend here. I thought Hannah Waddingham was a poor choice. I loved Rod Stewart but was sorry that Sam Ryder's voice was drowned out by the orchestra.

I thought the whole programme was really well put together.

I was staggered when Hannah Waddingham said her Grandad was 109. Wow! She is a great presenter.

Wondering why Keala Settle the American singer was relevant. Otherwise a deeply affecting remembrance of those we have lost.

I worried about Rod’s singing but luckily his backing singers held him up.

Yes, they did well

It was very emotional this year.

Hannah Waddingham was excellent presenting the Festival.

I did say to DH that I'd rather have heard the version of Sailing by the crew of the Ark Royal.
I like Rod but he is getting a bit rusty.

Prince George did his mother proud. His first official engagement.
As usual it was a moving event if you can take Rod Stewart with a large pinch of salt.
