Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will host a lunch at his 10 Downing Street office and residence, inviting community volunteers and Ukrainian refugees.

Take That, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry are among the stars to perform at Sunday’s concert, which commemorates the late queen’s previous royal jubilee.

Welsh bass-baritone Brian Terfel – who sang during the coronation service – will also perform, along with Chinese pianists Lang Lang, Andrea Bocelli, Paloma Faith and Nicole Scherzinger.

Hollywood star Tom Cruise, actress Joan Collins, adventurer Bear Grylls and singer Tom Jones will appear via video message.

The Royal Ballet, Royal Opera, Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal College of Music and Royal College of Art will come together for a one-off performance.

Buckingham Palace said the focal point would be “lighting up the nation”, using projections, lasers, drone displays and lights to illuminate famous places across the UK.

The coronation dominated the British media on Sunday, with focus on the grandeur of the ceremony as well as on the country’s problems facing Charles.
