King's Coronation Concert: Prince William delivers sweet tribute to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II

Viewers have been moved to tears by Prince William's touching speech at the King's Coronation Concert, with many stating how his mother would be proud as he also payed tribute to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

After the great Lionel Richie performed a medley of tracks, Prince William made his way to the concert stage which played host to a plethora of acts such as Paloma Faith, Take That, Steve Winwood and more, to deliver a heartfelt message to his family and the millions of people across the globe watching.

He began: "Good evening your majesties. Good evening Windsor. A huge thank you to everyone who made this such a special evening. I want to say a few words about my father and why I believe this weekend is so important. But don't worry, unlike Lionel I won't go on All Night Long." This jest was met with a hearty laugh from the King and all in Windsor as Prince William continued.
