I THOUGHT for one 'orrible moment, when gorgeous Judi Dench was about to launch a ship recently, that she was going to do a "royal" and become the "Queen Mum of luvvies". Thank goodness when the champagne splashed all over her the familiar giggle and delicious smile we know and love broke any thought of pomposity.

No one could have done it better.
