Loving the Disney style castle illuminations!

I like the variation

You'll never walk alone was beautiful

I love it. Bryn and Andrea were a highly questionable duet though. My ears were challenged.

Gothambutnotahamster · 07/05/2023 21:41

I agree @BounceyB - Andrea totally outshone Bryn. There was no need for Bryn to be there. Still stunning song though.

Who is the lady sat next to the King? She's really getting into it

I'm loving it. William's speech was perfect. The drones are amazing & loving the lady beside Charles getting into the swing of things (not Camilla as I know her name Grin)

Yes, who is that lady to the right of Charles? Does anyone know?

Katy Perry's come as a Quality Street.

Unicorn2022 · 07/05/2023 21:42

Baroness Scotland I think

bellac11 · 07/05/2023 21:44

Commonwealth secretary, or was under Elizabeth,, probably still in the same post

Katy Perry too! Are the acoustics off or something, so many performers don't sound quite right.

Was looking forward to Lionel Ritchie but his voice is unrecognisable!

Bit like his face sadly.

Who was the artist who dropped out last minute and has to be replaced?

Think it was only Zoe Ball

It was Freya Ridings

Thank you (to everyone who answered both my questions)

To be fair, Katy Perry is a phenomenal entertainer, but she hasn’t a note in her head.

darkerpatio · 07/05/2023 21:52

I'm just hoping Robbie shows up...😂

Daftnotstupid · 07/05/2023 21:52

Paloma sounded ropey. I've seen her live and I know she can hold a tune and sing in front of a crowd

Creamcrackersandricecakes · 07/05/2023 21:54

G'wan Gary!!!

Chatillon · 07/05/2023 21:54

Orchestra is fantastic.

Daftnotstupid · 07/05/2023 21:55

The drones!! 😳😳😳

TheKobayashiMaru · 07/05/2023 21:57

Sound is not great

Daftnotstupid · 07/05/2023 21:59

Katy Perry will forever be known as a Toffee Penny

Veryverycalmnow · 07/05/2023 22:00

What's happened to take that???

Davros · 07/05/2023 22:01

I know Somewhere is from West Side Story which is based on Romeo and Juliet, and it's a wonderful song, but it's a bit tenuous. Don't we have enough british music to feature?

QueueEtwo · 07/05/2023 22:01

Well I am loving Take That with a Military Band! 😁

Not that's well known enough for a global popular music concert

There is an opera but it's also not written by a British composer.
