Charles was at the Legion Christmas celebration December 2011

15 December 2011

The Legion has started the Yuletide festivities in style, with guests joining us at the magnificent Guildhall in London for our Christmas Celebration.

This annual event, run by the Legion's Special Events team, has become so popular - selling out months in advance - that it was held over two nights this year on 13-14 December. Guests enjoyed a varied programme of traditional carols, seasonal music and words of celebration, providing great entertainment as well as an opportunity to help raise vital funds for the Legion's welfare work for serving and ex-Service people and their families.

The stunning setting in this 800-year-old medieval jewel added to the atmosphere as guests enjoyed festive readings from celebrity supporters including Sir Timothy Ackroyd, Downton Abbey's Brendan Coyle, Sarah Badel, Bernard Cribbins, BBC correspondent Frank Gardner, Nerys Hughes and Charles Dance. Carol Vorderman hosted the first night, with Legion stalwart supporter Alastair Stewart taking the reins on the second evening.

The concert also featured the world renowned Bach Choir, conducted by David Hill, and the Central Band of The Royal British Legion, led by our irrepressible Director of Music, David Cole. A capella group All Angels performed beautiful versions of Mr Sandman and White Christmas.

Guests on the second night who attended the gala dinner after the concert, bought raffle tickets and took part in an auction to buy an original painting by Darren Baker, the artist who produced the portrait of Her Majesty The Queen for our 90th Anniversary, contributing to the estimated total raised of £150,000.

Head of Special Events Teresa Greener said: "The compliments we receive from guests show that the event gives our supporters a great start to Christmas."

Nowadays, James is working with other impressive bodies - including that of Britain's Charles Dance. James has had no problem tackling nude scenes - but he found the boot was on the other foot in Starter For Ten. James kept his pants on, while Dance and the still-glamorous Lindsay Duncan paraded around in the buff.
"In one scene, they both turn up in front of me naked," he explains. "Lindsay had a towel to cover herself, and when the cameras stopped rolling, she'd cover herself up."
But 60-year-old Dance insisted on striding around nude even though the movie never intended showing the Gosford Park star below the waist.
"What a man," laughs James. "He did the scene stark naked. When the cameras stopped rolling and they offered him the chance to put something on, he said 'No, I'm fine darling!'

 JAMES MCAVOY was staggered when his STARTER FOR TEN co-star CHARLES DANCE appeared before him completely naked on set - because the veteran star was surprisingly well-endowed. The young actor plays Dance's son in the upcoming movie, who in one scene accidentally sees his parents in the nude. But while wardrobe had ensured they would not have to strip off completely for the scene, Dance was determined to show off his assets. MCAvoy says, "LINDSAY (DUNCAN) wore something that covered her up so she looks naked though she wasn't. "But Charles shocked us by coming down the stairs stark naked. "When the wardrobe assistant offered to cover him up, he said, 'No need, darling.' "I have to say the man is quite an Adonis, Younger men felt quite threatened."
