Just over 24 hours since the nation witnessed the coronation of a new monarch the country is getting ready for one of the biggest concerts of the year to mark the occasion: the Coronation Concert, held at Windsor Castle to honour the new King Charles III.With a star-studded line up including Katy Perry, Take That, Lionel Richie and more, the performances are set to begin at 8pm with more than 20,000 members of the public turning out at the event alongside the royals and esteemed guests.

Those who weren't lucky enough to bag an invite can still enjoy the pomp and performance - but from the comfort of their own home as the BBC will begin broadcasting the show live from the East Lawn on the castle grounds at that time.

The concert will be presented by Hugh Bonneville with Kirsty Young returning to anchor the special live broadcast for BBC Television and iPlayer.

Kirsty will host within the grounds of Windsor Castle while Clara Amfo and Jordan Banjo will be chatting to the artists backstage, while BBC Radio 2 will capture the atmosphere of the concert ahead of the event.
