Katy, regarded as one of the biggest pop stars in the world having produced a string of number-one albums, said she is "excited" to perform at the concert.

Hello singer Lionel revealed it was an "honour" to celebrate the coronation.

The Grammy, Oscar and Golden Globe winner was also appointed The Prince's Trust's first global ambassador and is the chairman of the Global Ambassador Group.

Speaking of the coronation, BBC boss Charlotte Moore said: "We are bringing the nation together for this once-in-a-generation occasion, broadcast exclusively across the BBC live from Windsor Castle.

"We have a world class line-up of performers to look forward to for what promises to be a very special night of celebration and entertainment."
