Irish band The Script have performed for the Queen at the opening of the BBC's new Broadcasting House.

Dubliner Danny O'Donoghue performed a version of David Bowie's 'Heroes' at the Corporation's Live Lounge.

The song fitted the occasion, because it includes the line 'I / I will be king / And you / You will be queen'.

It's a version of the song they've previously performed on Virgin Radio. 

The Queen took to the airwaves to declare the building open:  

new jPlayerPlaylist({ jPlayer: '#195591370601863', cssSelectorAncestor: '#jp_container_195591370601863' }, [ { title:'Queen', mp3:'http://cdn.radiocms.net/media/001/audio/000001/19559_media_player_audio_file.mp3'

} ], { swfPath: '/assets/includes/js/jPlayer', supplied: 'mp3', wmode: 'window', solution: 'flash, html' });

Then she called by the newsroom, while a live broadcast was taking place.

Perhaps taking tips from grandaughter-in-law Kate Middleton, the Queen wore a very similar outfit to one she'd previously worn on her visit to Ireland last year.

The Duke of Edinburgh - who will celebrate his 92nd birthday next week - is meanwhile undergoing planned abdomenal surgery at a hospital in London.
