She is the queen of pop so it is little surprise her subjects turned out to pay tribute.

But stars of a different kind were also in attendance as she gave a spectacular live performance at the UN headquarters in New York tonight for World Humanitarian Day.

A virtual galaxy was projected onto the stage as the hitmaker gave a special rendition of Diane Warren classic I Was Here.

The performance of the song, which was on her number one album 4, was recorded at the United Nations General Assembly Hall.

The video will premiere on on World Humanitarian Day on August 19, and it is hoped it will help the campaign reach 1 billion people.

Beyonce, 30, looked fantastic in a dazzlingly glamorous white frock, which hugged her spectacular post pregnancy body in all the right places.

But there were almost as many stars in the audience as there were projected onto the stage.

Top RnB performer and producer The Dream, who is the man responsible for Justin Bieber's hit Baby, attended the night with a glamorous companion.

Meanwhile the song's writer, award-winning star Diane Warren, was also there to see her classic brought to life.

Bourne actress Julia Styles and It girl Shala Monroque were also there to see the exciting show.

But there was eye candy in attendance for the ladies too, as news anchor Anderson Cooper and musician Zach Matari were part of the star-studded audience.
