Kylie on The One Show minutes before the beginning of the concert ;)

One thing I can tell for sure: Queen came out just in time for the best part of the concert:
Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth band featuring The Military Wives – Sing - this is where true show began! Absolutely amazing performance that gave us goosebumps - well done!
Robbie Williams was amazing - he's a real performer and entertainer at the same time!
And one of the highlights of the night for me of course was Kylie performing her medley, that later took over the Twitter trends - amazing vocals, beautiful performance and stunning-looking Kylie! She performed a medley which included: Spinning Around, Can't Get You Out Of My Head, Step Back In Time and All The Lovers :

PERFORMANCE:

Gary Barlow ‏@GBarlowOfficial
Kylie..... Brilliant

Elton John - just love his voice!
Stevie Wonder - one of the singers I've been looking forward to seeing perform at the concert - true legend!And all the legends mentioned above were scheduled for the culmination! Good timing ;)
Stay tuned for the pictures/videos from the concert!
One of the most weird performances was by Grace Jones who performed her entire song Slave To the Rhythm with a hula hoop, without it slipping before letting it fall to the floor at the end of the song and saying: "We love you - happy birthday, our Queen." (only she forgot it was NOT Queen's B'Day... :D )
