Take That, Queen and Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson all received honours at the O2 Silver Clef Awards.

Boy band Take That scooped the O2 Silver Clef Award while Queen were handed the Ambassadors of Rock gong.

Wilson made a special appearance at the ceremony in London to pick up the Best International Act award.

Take That's Gary Barlow raised laughter when there was a mix up over who was meant to be presenting the award to the group. It turned out to be their Relight My Fire collaborator Lulu.

In a reference to the hit by their ex-bandmate Robbie Williams, Barlow joked: "They messed that up, didn't they? ... They won't be playing Angels before I come on."

Picking up his accolade, Wilson shouted excitedly: "We all know music is a very, very, very big force in life."

He said he was "really sad" about Michael Jackson's death.

Madness received the Icon Award and the Stereophonics were named British Band Of 2009. Breakthrough electropop act La Roux picked up Best Newcomer, while chart-toppers N-Dubz picked up the Digital Award. Britain's Got Talent schoolgirl star Faryl Smith received the Classical Award.

Peter Andre, whose split with wife Katie Price has constantly been in the headlines, attended and was asked if he was now paying for living his life in the public eye. He said: "I think anyone that complains about it should get out of it. People have been really nice. You can't complain about it. You could always go to a country that doesn't have any TV."

Now in its 34th year, the O2 Silver Clef Awards lunch, hosted this year by Denise van Outen, has raised more than £7.5 million for the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity.
