Taking her lead from David and Samantha Cameron, who have applied to Westminster City Council to host a street party in Downing Street to mark the royal wedding, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the singer and model, is planning a knees-up of her own.

"We run a club night with some friends of ours, so on the royal wedding we're doing a big theme night, having pub bands, karaoke, some bunting and all sorts," she tells me at the launch of the Nintendo 3DS at Old Billingsgate.

Troubled waters for Martin Bell

Two visitors to The Telegraph Cruise Show at Olympia in London attempted – not altogether successfully – to give each other as wide a berth as possible.

Martin Bell, the former BBC war correspondent who defeated Neil Hamilton to become MP for Tatton in the 1997 general election amid allegations of Tory sleaze, was giving a talk on the Telegraph stand, barely a few yards away from where Hamilton and his wife, Christine, were doing a similar gig.
