All former living presidents appear together at hurricane relief concert

All five living former presidents have appeared together for the first time since 2013 at a benefit concert for communities affected by Hurricanes Maria, Irma and Harvey.

Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush and Jimmy Carter appeared on stage together at the event promoting “The One America Appeal”.

President Trump did not appear in person at the Reed Arena in Texas, but recorded a video message which was played to concert goers.

He said his wife Melania "and I want to express our deep gratitude for your tremendous assistance."

He added: "This wonderful effort reminds us that we truly are one nation under God, all unified by our values and our devotion to one another."

Lady Gaga also made a surprise appearance, and tweeted: "Nothing more beautiful than everyone putting their differences aside to help humanity in the face of catastrophe. #OneAmericaAppeal"

The fundraising appeal has so far raised $31m (£24m) for the relief effort.

Those ones are all alive and not formerly alive.

I wonder what Grant looks like, now ... pickled in Bourbon whiskey as he was?

Four former British PMs are still alive: Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron.

The oldest is John Major, who was born on 29 March 1943 and is 74 years old. If he is still alive on 29 March 2036 (his 93rd birthday), he will surpass Jim Callaghan's record and become the longest-lived Prime Minister.

Is Cameron still alive? The last time that I saw him, he looked deader than a door nail.

Hard to believe that Canada and Britain have kept the same Head of State throughout the times when all those were America's Head of State.

She's been our Head of State since before one of those was even born.

Well I'm not sure you can compare our head of state to the Americans. Ours is by birth.
