Later, Antiques Roadshow (7pm) offers up some glorious royal treasures, including a jewelled bracelet that was given by Queen Victoria to a lady-in-waiting. Matt Tebbutt hosts a royal spin on the cookery show, with Michelin-starred chef Adam Byatt on hand to rustle up a dish that he previously made for the King and Queen in 2021 and guests Jennie Bond and Gyles Brandreth geared up to share special memories of King Charles. Expect interviews with David Beckham, José Mourinho, Wayne Rooney, Arsène Wenger and Frank Lampard, covering everything from Roman Abramovich’s takeover at Chelsea FC to Leeds United’s incredible Noughties fall from glory. You don’t need to be a football fanatic to enjoy this fascinating four-part docu-series, which weaves global politics with individual teams’ history over the past few decades to paint a downright depressing picture of what was formerly a sport and is now a multi-billion, lucrative (and often dodgy) business.

PPįever Pitch: The Battle for the Premier League Settle in for a night of fun, brilliant staging and celebration that’s sure to go down in history. Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville is set to host the concert, while the rolling coverage of the event will be spearheaded by the BBC’s Kirsty Young, segueing from the main coverage of the Coronation on Saturday, with Clara Amfo and Jordan Banjo interviewing the acts backstage. The concert will be broadcast live from the grounds of Windsor Castle, with 20,000 people in attendance 10,000 of which are lucky members of the public who obtained tickets through a ballot.

Even if Perry’s anthems aren’t to His Majesty’s tastes, he’ll find plenty to enjoy at this fine celebration: from music by Lionel Richie and Take That (sadly, sans Robbie Williams), DJ Pete Tong and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli to entertainment courtesy of Tom Cruise, Joan Collins, and… Winnie-the-Pooh.

Glancing at the diverse lineup for the concert, meanwhile, one can’t help but wonder if the King is truly a fan of Katy Perry, the American popstar of California Gurls fame. Before the pop-tastic evening comes a welcome dose of classical, in Songs of Praise (noon) hosted by Katherine Jenkins.
