BBC Coronation Concert: Cardiff to have two roles with Wales Millennium Centre drone display

The King's coronation is fast approaching and ahead of the long weekend, some more details have been released about BBC's Coronation Concert. The coronation ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, with the concert taking place at Windsor Castle one day later on Sunday, May 7.

The line-up for the Coronation Concert, which will be presented by Hugh Bonneville, has already been revealed with Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel perfoming while Sir Tom Jones is amongst the stars who will appear in a series of pre-recorded sketches and segments revealing little-known facts about The King.

A traditional male voice choir from Caerphilly and a refugee choir, also from Wales form part of the line-up too. And while the stage will be studded with stars, the centrepiece of the Coronation Concert will be what's called the Lighting up the Nation live sequence.
