Watch live: Preparations underway at Windsor Castle ahead of coronation concert

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Preparations are well underway at Windsor Castle as the UK gears up for a second day of celebrations for King Charles III's coronation.

On the agenda today is the long-awaited coronation concert on the historic castle's East Lawn grounds, with performers including Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Take That.

Fashion designer, Stella McCartney, will also be reading a spoken-word poem around the environment and sustainability - a topic that Charles is particularly passionate about.

10,000 of the 20,000 tickets went to the public via a ballot, while the rest are spread across charities that the King and Queen are involved with.

The royals themselves, will of course be in attendance too.

However, even if you're not attending, you won't be missing out. From 20:00 BST, the concert will be shown live on the BBC.
