Coronation celebrations continue with event that also features Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, Paloma Faith and more
Hello everyone, and welcome to The Guardian’s liveblog of the Coronation Concert. After all the pomp and ceremony of yesterday’s main event, now is the time for the country to do what it really does best: watch a succession of mediocre musical acts with a sense of weary, duty-bound resignation.
Listen, I have to level with you here. I didn’t watch the coronation yesterday. I didn’t see a second of the ceremony, I haven’t read anything, or had a street party, or eaten anything even approaching a quiche. I genuinely couldn’t care less about any of the principal figures involved. So why, then, have I – an avowed buntingphobe – decided to liveblog the coronation concert? That’s easy. It’s because I know what this really is.
