Memorial concert 2011
Royal Albert Hall, London

June 20 , 2011

On the 20th June 2100 a sell-out concert at The Royal Albert Hall celebrated the musical life of John Barry.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Dodd, accompanied by performances from Dame Shirley Bassey, Rumer, David Arnold and Wynne Evans took the audience through a magnificent array of Barry's film themes.

There were also spoken tributes from Sir Michael Caine (on video), Sir Michael Parkinson, Timothy Dalton and Sir George Martin.

You can relive the occasion here courtesy of photos, videos and personal accounts of the evening.
