THE Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh watched an energetic routine as they visited the new home of Rambert, a leading contemporary dance company.

The couple also sympathised with a group of dancing pensioners, the Mercury Movers, after they had performed to Mr Bojangles, performed by Sammy Davis Jnr, following the moves of the class teacher. The royals were given a guided tour of the purpose built £19.6m building on London's South Bank.
