Sir Bryn Terfel has revealed he got stopped by police on his way to Westminster Abbey to sing at the coronation service. A massive security operation was in place around Westminster ahead of Saturday's service and the Welsh baritone said he was a "tad late" and didn't make it in before some of the roads around Westminster were closed.
"I was lucky to make it into Westminster Abbey because I was stopped by police," he told reporters ahead of Sunday night's coronation concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
"I was a tad too late for the cordon and we were stopped and had to get representatives out of the abbey to come and help me. Once we were in, it was fine. There was obviously nervousness within the abbey but once it started everything fell into place."
