The scenes began when Jackson, in the city to promote a series of summer concerts, left his luxury hotel, The Lanesborough in Knightsbridge.

Jackson appeared happy with the reception from his fans, smiling and waving at fans, signing autographs and shaking hands before leaving in a minibus.

He then descended on London's Drury Lane to watch the show starring Mr Bean actor Rowan Atkinson, with his two youngest children, Prince Michael II (also known as Blanket), aged seven, and Paris 11. Both hid their faces as they were escorted through the crowd.

At the show, the trio were joined by Jackson's friend Mark Lester, who played Oliver in the original 1968 film.

Earlier this week, Jackson announced plans to stage a string of 10 comeback concerts at London's O2 arena.
