Robbie Williams has joined Take That on stage - but stopped short of performing with his former band.
Take That opened the Children In Need concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, organised by Gary Barlow, with their song Greatest Day.

Barlow then welcomed the 4,500-strong crowd and said: "What a perfect night for us to introduce an old friend."

An emotional-looking Williams, who left the band in 1995, appeared on stage alongside his old bandmates but only briefly.

Barlow and Williams have both hinted at a reunion of the band's original line-up but, despite the teaser, the band left the stage to allow Williams to perform his solo singles Bodies and You Know Me alone.

The night, which has raised more than £500,000 in ticket sales for Children In Need, will be broadcast on BBC1 on November 19.

Concert-goers had to register for tickets, and were picked randomly for the opportunity to buy the tickets, which cost between £50 and £250 each.
