Separately, a Coronation Concert will be staged and broadcast live at Windsor Castle by the BBC on the Sunday evening.

Among the stars performing will be Take That, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, the Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, the Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, and the singer-songwriter Freya Ridings.

More than 57 locations across the UK, from Bournemouth to Belfast, will be putting up big screens meaning that more than 100,000 people will be able to watch the event in their hometowns. 

Some stand-out locations already confirmed include Cardiff Castle, Belfast City Hall and Picadilly Gardens in Manchester. 

Huge television screens will also be placed in Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park for public viewing in London. Screens in St James’s Park will also show the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday 7 May.  

When is the Coronation bank holiday? 

An additional bank holiday to mark the Coronation is scheduled for Monday, May 8. 

It will take place across the UK, and in recognition of the King’s concern for strengthening local communities, the public will be encouraged to volunteer and join projects in their local area as part of the Big Help Out.

The King and Queen Consort hope that the impact of the Big Help Out will be felt across the country, creating a lasting legacy and the recruitment of more volunteers. 

It is expected that more than six million people across the nation will take part in the volunteering scheme.

Data, from a survey of more than 2,000 adults across the country between April 7 and 11, also shows that younger respondents were more likely to plan to participate.

On average, 24 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds and 19 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds plan to get involved.

Brendan Cox, co-founder of the Together Coalition, which is organising The Big Help Out, told The Telegraph: “It shows the level of enthusiasm for people rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty as part of the Coronation.

“People are obviously looking forward to the service itself and the celebration around it … but it also shows a real appetite to make the Coronation something that has a longer term legacy in communities up and down the country.”
