But the party won’t stop on Saturday, in fact it will only be getting started; a blow-out concert is scheduled for Sunday (7 May) evening, and will be broadcast live across the UK.

 The coronation itself is set to cost upwards of £100 million (about twice as much as Queen Elizabeth II's, adjusted for inflation), with much of this expected to be devoted to the concert which will feature some of the biggest music stars on the planet. 

The concert will take place on the grounds of Windsor Castle, which has been a royal residence for 900 years, and thousands of royalists will be able to attend for free. But for the millions more who can’t be there in person, the concert will able to watch live on TV for free.
