The King took to the decks as he was reunited with a fledgling DJ who spun some dance classics at a Buckingham Palace garden party.<\/p>\n
The party, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the King\u2019s Trust, had a rather different feel to the usual summer soir\u00e9es held on the palace lawn.<\/p>\n
Rather than the military bands that traditionally entertain guests, a DJ booth was set up on the west terrace where actor Sir Idris Elba<\/a> and young DJ Christian St Louis<\/a>, 22 \u2013 otherwise known as DJ Ink \u2013 took to the decks.<\/p>\n Celebrity supporters including Ant and Dec, Dame Helen Mirren and Damian Lewis joined the charity\u2019s alumni and supporters dressed in their finest to meet the King.<\/p>\n There were magicians, live art and a talk hosted by Sir Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n Shortly before the heavens opened, the King joined Mr St Louis and Sir Idris at the DJ booth, much to the delight of the crowd.<\/p>\n He duly pressed play to start the music, prompting a loud cheer that he acknowledged with a nonchalant wave of the hand.<\/p>\n However, he did not stick around long, waving farewell to his guests and beating a hasty retreat inside the palace as guests danced under umbrellas in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.telegraph.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The King took to the decks as he was reunited with a fledgling DJ who spun some dance classics at a Buckingham Palace garden party.
