Stars have aligned to help raise more than £40 million in the Red Nose Day charity drive. Comic Relief co-founder Richard Curtis rounded up the cast of Four Weddings And A Funeral in the main sketch of the night.

Oscar-winning Alicia Vikander and Lily James were wed in an awkward ceremony by Rowan Atkinson's bumbling vicar while Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell looked on as loving parents.

The film was part of the push to help vulnerable children and young people in the UK and across the world, which had raised £40,739,891 by 10pm.

Bodyguard stars also got back together to take a subtle swipe at Prime Minister Theresa May in a sketch for Red Nose Day.

Richard Madden appeared as David Budd in the short film, acting as close protection officer for Joanna Lumley's overtly flirtatious PM, similar to the romantic plotline of the series.

The sketch mocked the election slogans of Mrs May, with Lumley demanding Madden be "strong and stable" in his role and not "weak and wobbly".

Keeley Hawes also made an appearance to ask: "Do you know if I'm in series two?"

Steve Coogan was among the celebrities reprising favourite roles, returning as Alan Partridge in an evening of star-studded comedy.
