Stars have turned out in full for Sir Elton John's annual White Tie And Tiara Ball.

The star hosted the party at his £20 million country home in Old Windsor, in Berkshire on Thursday night.

Guests included Liz Hurley, Elle MacPherson, Michael Caine and Mischa Barton.

All were on a strictly invite-only basis at a cost of £3 thousand pounds a-head.

It is reported that despite attending one of the highest profile gatherings of the year, some guests pulled up in their cars with their faces covered by latex masks.
