The royal family will appear on the palace balcony to wave to the thousands expected to line up in the mall to witness the historic occasion.

On Sunday, May 7, the Coronation Ball will take place at Windsor Castle, with the participation of “world music icons and contemporary stars”. The event will be broadcast live on the BBC.

The audience of several thousand will be selected to receive a pair of free tickets through a national ballot, and the audience will also include volunteers from the King and Queen’s many charities.

Acclaimed classics will be performed by a world-class orchestra, fronted by some of the world’s biggest artists, amidst what is described as a showcase of the UK’s diverse cultural heritage in music, theater and dance.

A selection of spoken word sequences will be delivered by the stars of stage and screen. A highlight is the performance of the Coronation Choir, a diverse group that brings together singers from local community choirs, including refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups and deaf signature choirs.

A BBC documentary tells the story of its formation and the many people involved.

During the concert, well-known landmarks across the country will be lit up with projections, lasers, drone shows, and lighting.
