Twenty years ago today, David Gilmour played the first of three shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a very special guest appearance for Comfortably Numb from David Bowie, in what sadly turned out to be Bowie's final ever appearance on a UK stage.

On Sunday at 5pm BST / 12noon ET / 6pm CET, the entire show, released as Remember That Night, will premiere on David's YouTube (where you can watch the full performance of Comfortably Numb now).

My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning.

Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.

His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money.

He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd.

Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.

Wonderful to celebrate the exhibition of Polly's photographs with friends and family at the Leica Gallery in London last night.

The exhibition runs until 7th of May and I can't recommend it highly enough.

An exhibition of @PollySamson's lovely photographs is open at the Leica Gallery in London until the 7th of May.

Her work really comes to life in this setting. Very much worth a visit.
