==The Queen's Handbag==
The main attraction of the party was a pantomime-style play called ''The Queen's Handbag'', written by children's author and playwright David Wood OBE and directed by Sir Trevor Nunn,〔(Stars and children to gather at Buckingham Palace for the party of lifetime ) (published 11 June 2006; accessed 13 July 2006)〕 which was performed on a stage resembling Buckingham Palace and broadcast live on both BBC1 and the CBBC channel.
In the play, the villains of children's literature were angry to find out none of them had been invited to the party, so they decided to ruin the party for the goodies too. After multiple failed attempts, one of them manages to steal the Queen's Handbag. Without its contents, her reading glasses, the Queen won't be able to deliver her closing speech. Multiple scenes of the play, including a scene starring Harry Potter and his friends, were pre-recorded and played on large video screens.〔("Potter stars cast in Queen's play" ), Newsround report. (last updated 13 June 2006; accessed 13 July 2006)〕 The play ended with a rendition of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" by the entire cast, led by the London company of the musical ''Mary Poppins''. Throughout the programme, the audience was kept up-to-date about the status of the missing handbag with reports from both BBC News and Crimewatch. The use of a fake newsflash caused complaints to be made to the BBC.〔(BBC NEWS | The Editors )〕
