The Late Late Show was among friends old and new on Friday night as it celebrated its 60th birthday.
The special began with a dip into the archives - with the Late Late Show theme as the soundtrack.

"They turn up, we turn up, you turn up, and the rest, as they say, is history," said host Ryan Tubridy as he listed off some of the world-famous guests that have graced The Late Late Show through the decades.
"To all who have sailed on her, not least our founding father, Mr Gay Byrne, tonight we say thank you."
Sharing their Late Late memories in studio were Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley, singer-songwriter Bernard Butler, Aslan's Christy Dignam and Billy McGuinness, Clannad's Moya Brennan and Altan's Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh.
Joining them were boxing champions Amy Broadhurst and Lisa O'Rourke, campaigners Charlie Bird and Claire Mould, historian Catherine Corless, model Rosanna Davison, singers Lyra and Shobsy, medical student Racheal Diyaolu, and TikTok star Miriam Mullins.
Among those sending video messages to the show were Michael Bublé, Billy Connolly, Michael Fassbender, Michael Flatley, Chris Hadfield, Peter Kay, Marian Keyes, Adam King, Imelda May, Conan O'Brien, Brendan O'Carroll and Jennifer Gibney, Michael Parkinson, and Cliff Richard.

There was music from Dermot Kennedy and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler, the Late Late Show House Band, and Mario Rosenstock - as Christy Moore.
The show wrapped up the current season as Shobsy led the other guests in a rendition of The Irish Rover.
The Late Late Show will be back on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player for the new season in September.
