In Act 3 Scene 4, a banquet was prepared in the aftermath of the coronation of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] at Scone. All of the guests were gathered around the banquet table. But Banquo and his son Fleance were missing. Banquo was lying on the ground in the nearby park. His throat had been slit by three murderers whom Macbeth had hired to kill his friend and fellow General. Fleance had escaped the same fate. But Banquo's ghost made it to the banquet. He was invisible to all but Macbeth. Instead of taking his own seat, he presumed to take Macbeth's.

Macbeth [d. August 14, 1040] and his wife held a banquet at Forres Palace. Banquo was intending to attend. But he was killed in the park near the palace. It wasn't made clear whether Fleance was expected or invited to attend. But he didn't show up, because he was too busy trying to get as far away as he could from those who slit his father's throat. Donalbain and Malcolm, the sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], most likely weren't expected or invited. They had escaped the day that their father was discovered stabbed to death in Macbeth's castle at Inverness. Neither was it likely that Macduff was expected or invited.

A banquet in the aftermath of Macbeth's [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] coronation was held at the royal palace at Forres. All of the invited guests showed up except for Banquo. Banquo had been at the palace earlier the day of the banquet. But he left with his son Fleance to get some exercise for themselves and their horses. They were planning to get back in time for the celebrations. But they were stopped in the park near the palace. Banquo never made it out of the park, because his throat was cut by three murderers whom Macbeth had hired for that specific purpose. So the mortal Banquo was missing from the banquet table. But his ghost showed up and took Macbeth's seat, in Act 3 Scene 4.

Banquo was told to "fail not our feast", but did not show up at the time when it was supposed to start. However, this was because he was dead, and even with this handicap, he put in an appearance in order to comply with Macbeth's order.

Banquo, who was just murdered by Macbeth's assasins, is not at the feast, although his ghost does attend.
