Watch: Celebrities and singers walk red carpet ahead of King Charles’s coronation concert

BBC

Watch as guests arrived ahead of King Charles III’s coronation concert on Sunday 7 May.

The star-studded event, hosted at Windsor Castle, wrapped up a historic weekend which saw the new monarch crowned at Westminster Abbey.

Katy Perry, Take That and Lionel Richie were part of the line-up of performers for the special event.

Festivities began at 8pm and the concert was staged on the East Lawn of the castle’s grounds, marking the first time an event like this has taken place on the property.

It was also broadcast live on the BBC.

Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, and classical-soul composer Alexis Ffrench also performed on Sunday.

However, singer-songwriter Freya Ridings had to pull out of proceedings due to being unwell, while presenter Zoe Ball announced on the morning of the event that she too would be unable to take part.
