Alison Moyet performing with a live orchestra in the grounds of Kensington Gardens to an audience including Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne and her girlfriend Saint Vincent, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tinie Tempah, plus the latest personalised must-buy you won't be able to resist... The Burberry Prorsum show dazzled the senses. Here's what you need to know about the extravaganza.

1. The fantastic FROW: As you can see from our live coverage of the Burberry red (well, cream) carpet, there was a suitably fancy set of fabulous people taking up the top spots on the front row of this show.

2. The next BP phenomenon: Remember how those checked personalised capes took flight last year? Well, expect a similar rush for the monogrammed utility rucksacks seen on many of the spring/summer'16 models.

3. The trench update: The brand's cornerstone was almost not to be seen this season. One did make an appearance in black parachute silk layered over an equally slinky slip dresses in contrasting cream. Other outerwear highlights included a black woolen jacket worn as a dress and gleaming with gold frogging. The combination of black and gold was key for Burberry's spring girl.

4. OMG, it's Alison Moyet: Christopher Bailey's support of young musical talent is a well known thing but for this high profile showcase he employed the extreme talents of Alison Moyet. Wrapped in a black trench coat and with a live orchestra around her, she belted out the favourites: the finale song Only You could have softened the hardest hearts.

5. What the A-list will be wearing: Celeb land can hold onto their big black pants and the obsession they have with wearing them on show under a sheer dress. Many of Burberry's frocks played peekaboo, but some of the more demure options crafted together with textural broderie anglaise and lace will be a hot ticket for those who like to keep their underpinnings under wraps.
