To mark the Queen's 60th year as head of the British monarchy, we won't just be treated to a two-day bank holiday! We're also getting a free gig under the guise of the official Diamond Jubilee concert and organiser Gary Barlow says: "It's going to be one of the biggest and most exciting live music shows of recent years."
The line-up is set to be amazing, with Gary Barlow confirming this morning that Paul McCartney was the first star to sign up for the concert planned for June.

At the press conference today, Gary explained how artists from each era of the Queen's rule will perform including Elton John, Cliff Richard, Madness and Annie Lennox.

He said: "I'm British and I'm very proud to be British.
"I love the monarchy and the Queen."
The man of the moment also promises that we're going to get something special, so special in fact that it'll knock the socks off the Queen's Golden Jubilee concert, ten years ago.
