A gorgeous bunch of friendly, fabulously dressed people gathered for the send-off of the decade as Joey and Mikey (Jo-Key) head for faraway lands...

Pack away your party frocks, box up those stilettos and send the rest of your going-out wardrobe to Oxfam… we've had the party of the year, so there seems little point in going out again until the inevitable Second Coming party sometime in 2011…

I won't be able to do the night any justice by explaining it away (I'm rubbish with names so I'd be a fool to start mentioning any) but with luck the photos will do the talking… and video might once more bring to life that understated little show…

It goes without saying that we wish the boys a safe journey and a fabulous year or so down under… looking forward to the tales already. Australia, as I heard said on many more than one occasion on Saturday night, won't know what's hit it!
