Sir Elton John threw an elaborate 40s-themed fancy dress party on to celebrate his impending 60th birthday.The flamboyant singer - who shared the night with photographer friend Sam Taylor Wood who celebrated her 40th birthday - arrived at London's Shoreditch Town Hall dressed as a World War II military officer.He was accompanied by partner David Furnish, who had donned a US Marine uniform. A host of stars were invited, including Kate Moss, Sir Paul McCartney and daughter Stella, Elle Macpherson, Hugh Grant, Sting, Kelly Osbourne and Daniel Craig - who looked dapper in a brown pinstripe 40s suit, complete with trilby hat. Guests sipped vintage champagne and dined on lobster and chicken. They were also treated to mini-birthday cakes topped with initials of the birthday girl and boy.The highlight of the evening was when 'East Enders' star Barbara Windsor burst out of a huge cake on stage dressed as a pink fairy to sing 'Happy Birthday'.The glamorous event was just a warm-up for Elton's extravagant 60th New York birthday bash later this month. The singer, who hits the milestone age on March 25, has been planning the party for two years.
