Lee entertained crowds at the Platinum Party at the Palace celebrating the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

But as he jumped onto the stage, Lee welcomed everyone to Buckingham Palace, calling it a “party of a lifetime”.

He said how lucky everyone was to enjoy the event just metres away from Buckingham Palace’s famous gates.

“What a legend.”

Lee’s joke came after Boris was repeatedly booed throughout the weekend.

Videos shared on social media showed the crowd jeering at the Prime Minister as he was taken to his seat at the concert.

It comes after live news broadcasts caught the moment crowds earlier this weekend booed Boris and wife Carrie.

There have been increasing calls for him to resign since the partygate scandal.

He was fined for breaching coronavirus restrictions earlier this year making him the first serving Prime Minister in history to have been caught breaking the law.
