As he left, she saw me staring at her, gave me a wink and walked off."Whilst Elton performed for the Queen for her big night, he couldn't attend in person as he was travelling around Europe for his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road tour.He posted on social media: "I was thrilled and honoured to be asked to be part of the Platinum Party at the Palace.
