ABOUT IMAGES  
Hampton Court Palace FestivalHenry VIII established Hampton Court as a place of music, dancing and revelry. This festival is focused on reviving that tradition as 22,000 people fill the grounds for one of the most diverse music festivals on the calendar. This year's line-up includes international performers from the worlds of jazz, classical, world, soul, and pop: Jose Carreras and Andrea Bocelli sing grand opera; Jools Holland performs big band classics; Brian Wilson makes a rare public appearance performing both his strange new work and the Beach Boys songs that made him famous; Elaine Page sings hit songs from the musicals. In all, there will be eleven different shows over four weeks, all of them made special by the incredible venue.

In the final concert, classical favourites including Nimrod, Jerusalem, and Rule Britannia are accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display. Henry VIII would have been proud to see that his great palace can still bring so much joy.
