Notting Hill star Hugh Bonneville is hosting the concert, and the show will also feature pre-recorded video sketches from Top Gun star Tom Cruise, Dynasty actress Dame Joan Collins, Bear Grylls and Sir Tom Jones, who will recite a number of facts about the monarch.

Not least, a number of major A-Listers turning down the opportunity to perform, be it due to conflicting schedules or their republican stance.

Unfortunately, there have also been a few last minute changes to the schedule due to dropouts over the last few days.

Singer Freya Ridings has been forced to pull out due to sickness, while Zoe Ball announced just hours before the concert began this evening that she would not be taking part.

The Radio 2 DJ said that she was "absolutely gutted" to be unable to attend, saying: "The sickness bug has got me."

However, it's undeniable that all eyes will be on Dark Horse songstress Katy Perry tonight after her awkward tumble and struggle to find her seat at the Coronation went viral on Saturday.

Clad in a lavender Vivienne Westwood ensemble and flamboyant headpiece, she left fans in stitches as she looked around in confusion in Westminster Abbey.

Yet Katy effortlessly brushed off any embarrassment with a witty response on Twitter.
