The three-day Coronation weekend is almost here, and it will be jam packed with celebrations across the country.
King Charles' Coronation ceremony takes place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6 which will also see Camilla become Queen. Plenty more events will take place to mark the occasion - and one of the highlights will be the Coronation Concert on Saturday, May 7.
The likes of Take That, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry will be performing at Windsor Castle's East Lawn for our newly-crowned King and Queen. Some 20,000 members of the public will be there to experience it all in person, while the night will also be broadcast live on TV.

The concert, hosted by Paddington and Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville, will see Hollywood star Tom Cruise, Dynasty actress Dame Joan Collins, adventurer Bear Grylls and singer Sir Tom Jones appear by video message.
The series of pre-recorded sketches will reveal little-known facts about the monarch and will also include moments from beloved literary figure Winnie the Pooh – seemingly echoing the famous moment Paddington Bear drank tea with the Queen during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The BBC revealed the centrepiece of the gig would be a Union Jack-shaped stage, which will extend out to the audience. It will be lit up in red, white and blue and features a halo-like screen surrounding the roof, which the broadcaster said will 'symbolise the Crown protecting the nation'.
Here is the full line-up and how to watch the highly-anticipated Coronation Concert.
