Australian Idol runner-up Anthony Callea brought a showbiz touch to the Queen's visit.
The pint-sized Melburnian was a star turn at yesterday's Commonwealth Day church service in Sydney's St Andrew's Cathedral.
The Queen's Commonwealth Day message was a serious one, highlighting the scourges of HIV/AIDS and the deaths of women in childbirth.
Then there was Callea, belting out a performance of his hit single, The Prayer.
He might have made an impression too, because the Australian Idol star was one of only a few official guests privileged to chat to the Queen during a royal reception later at Admiralty House.
The Queen struck up a conversation with Callea as Prime Minister John Howard escorted her along a line of well-wishers.
Callea also plans to run in the Queen's Baton Relay in Melbourne on Wednesday ahead of the opening of the Commonwealth Games.
