Coronation Concert sparks BBC complaints as viewers hit out at 'late' start

King Charles' Coronation Concert sparked the same complaint from many BBC viewers on Sunday night - it started far too late, with others annoyed they were 'left waiting' for the Royal Family to turn up and that Prince Louis didn't make an appearance.

The biggest event of Coronation weekend, after King Charles' Coronation itself at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, the Coronation Concert united a bill of A list stars, including Nicole Scherzinger, Take That, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, who was seen taking her seat in the Abbey a day earlier.

A crowd of 20,000 gathered in the gardens of Windsor Castle ready to watch show-stopping performances from other acts including Steve Winwood and Olly Murs, but those watching from home were left annoyed that it wasn't on TV until 8pm and, then when the BBC's live coverage started, it took a long time for the concert to start.
