Lily Allen, John Simm, Ray Winston and Gary Neville were just some of the famous faces who managed to get on the guest list for the weekend's Stone Roses gigs in Manchester, though understandably there were no royals on the list as Ian Brown made his thoughts on the Diamond Jubilee clear, declaring: "This is for them, 200 miles down the road, celebrating 60 years of tyranny", as the band played Elizabeth My Dear.
