Readers include Prince William, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Hugh Bonneville and Kadeena Cox, while along with carols from the choir, there will be music from Craig David, Alexis Ffrench and Samantha Barks, and a special duet from Alfie Boe and Mel C.
This year the Prince and Princess of Wales will be joined at the Abbey by the King, Queen Consort and other members of the royal family, as the service is dedicated to the late Queen and the values she demonstrated throughout her life – duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others.

Spearheaded by Kate and supported by The Royal Foundation, it will recognise "the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK, and celebrate and showcase the joy that human connection and togetherness can bring", says Kensington Palace.
Guests have been nominated by Lords Lieutenant across the UK, community networks and charities associated with the royal family, including some of the late Queen’s patronages.
