Katy Perry is known for her high-energy, colourful performances

Firework singer Katy Perry will perform her biggest hits in front of a crowd of 20,000 people in the grounds of Windsor Castle today, as part of the special concert to celebrate the Coronation ceremony.

Concert organisers say the show will be based on themes of love, respect and positivity.

Katy Perry has said she is "excited" to be performing and hopes "to shine a further light" on issues that affect children worldwide.

Freya Ridings, whose hits include "Lost without you" and "Castles" is also part of the line-up.

Take That, a band who had 12 number one songs in the 1990s and 2000s, will perform together for the first time in four years during the show.

Their lead singer, Gary Barlow, has strong ties to the Royal family having written a song to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

They said they "can't wait" to be back on stage and promise their performance will feature military drummers.
