Elton John made sure his White Tie And Tiara ball was a wild party by filling the grounds of his mansion with giraffes and zebras on June 23, 2005.

Guests at the bash were stunned when they arrived and saw the safari scenes.

A guest reveals: "It really was an incredible party. There were all these exotic animals roaming around the garden and Jamie Cullum and Joss Stone got up to sing."

"Sharon Stone gave a speech and Victoria and David Beckham spent the night dancing cheek-to-cheek."

Later Victoria Beckham sat down for an intimate chat with X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne.

"There was a lot of giggling and Elton was the perfect host, working the room and chatting to all his guests. The food was sublime and most importantly over £1million was raised for Elton's Aids Foundation charity."
