Duke and Duchess of Cambridge coming to Cardiff Castle for Jubilee celebrations

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will meet some of Wales's best known performers before a Platinum Jubilee celebration concert, Buckingham Palace has announced. William and Kate will travel to Cardiff on Saturday and meet the crew behind the event at Cardiff Castle, learning about the lighting, sound and visual effects for the show before helping with the final preparations.

The couple will also watch rehearsals and meet Aled Jones and Shan Cothi, who are both hosting the show which will feature Mike Peters from The Alarm, singer Bonnie Tyler, West End star John Owen Jones, drumming weatherman Owain Wyn Evans and Pendyrus Male Voice Choir. The performances will finish at 7pm and the crowds can then watch the Platinum Party at the Palace on giant screens in the castle grounds.

Over the extended jubilee bank holiday weekend members of the royal family will travel to other home nations, with the Earl and Countess of Wessex visiting Northern Ireland to carry out two engagements. You can read all our What's On news here.
