Sir Paul McCartney has been named as the UK's top choice to perform at King Charles' coronation.
King Charles III's coronation will take place on May 6. Reports in the past week claimed several artists had turned down the opportunity to perform at the event, including Harry Styles and Sir Elton John.
A survey by pub chain Hungry Horse asked 2,000 people for their choice on the ideal performer.

Adele, who came out as the UK’s favoured choice to perform with 16% of the vote, has also reportedly ruled out a coronation performance, meaning Sir Paul McCartney (8%) is the top artist yet to rule themselves out of the celebrations.
1980s icon Kate Bush took 8% of the vote, after her 1985 hit Running Up That Hill saw a huge resurgence throughout 2022 thanks to its use in TV series Stranger Things. Lewis Capaldi (8%), Stormzy (7%) and Tom Jones (6%) also finished within the top ten.
Sarah Williams, senior marketing manager for Hungry Horse, said: “We cannot wait to join in the coronation celebrations later this year and it’s a fantastic chance for families to come together and enjoy themselves over the bank holiday weekend."
