The crowd, which had previously gathered in front of the entrance, spreads around the stage as they run. The British visitors are doing their best to secure a good seat for the concert, which is being held because the Queen has been on the throne for seventy years. Queen, Elton John, Alicia Keys, Nile Rodgers and Sam Ryder, among others, will perform at the concert.
The anniversary concert, which lasts about 2.5 hours, can be seen live on the BBC. The concert is part of the festive long weekend in early June that celebrates Elizabeth’s jubilee.
