QUEEN of pop Madonna travelled to the opening night of her world tour with a security entourage fit for a royal.
In a scene that mimicked a Presidential visit to the capital, or something out of a James Bond movie, the 65 year-old headed to London’s O2 in a blacked-out Range Rover, flanked by four motorbikes.

Ensuring she took no chances with her safety, Madonna travel in comfort and style to Greenwich, where her mammoth 78-date tour will kick off tonight.
The Vogue singer managed to avoid the beady eye of any cameras, slipping into her waiting vehicle obscured by a legion of men in black suits.
Meanwhile, four strapping men on motorbikes – also dressed in all black – waited for the megastar to get all strapped into the back of her 4×4 before making a formation around the vehicle.
Two led the way in the front, while the other two followed closely behind the car, ensuring the music legend arrived safely at the venue to greet her loyal devotees.

Anticipation is already at fever pitch among the thousands of fans who will pack out the Arena in the coming hours.
It’s been a long wait for Madonna obsessives, as the tour was originally due to kick off in North America back in July.
But the start date was rescheduled twice after she was rushed to hospital in June with a bacterial infection.
“I must listen to my body and rest!!” the mum of six told her fans, adding: “I hate to disappoint anyone.”
The tour is set to be more than worth the wait, however, with 40 hits, 230ft of catwalks, 24 dancers and 17 archived costumes recreated.
The show will last more than two hours and boasts the biggest tracks from her 40-year career, including Vogue, Ray Of Light and La Isla Bonita.
A crew of more than 200 are working on the epic production, with 25 of those dedicated to the 45 trunks of costumes.
