Ant and Dec lead the famous faces invited to King Charles' Coronation
TV presenters Ant and Dec will head a star-studded line up at the King's Coronation joining hundreds of young people supported by Charles' Prince's Trust charity. It has been announced that more than 2,200 people will be in Westminster Abbey to see Charles and Queen Camilla crowned, which will include royalty, heads of state, community and charity champions. And among them will be famous faces linked to The Prince's Trust, an organisation set up by the King in the 1970s - and they include the TV duo, as well as the magician Dynamo, Repair Shop presenter Jay Blades and the singer Lionel Richie.

Ant and Dec, best known for fronting shows including Saturday Night Takeaway, I'm A Celebrity...
Get Me Out Of Here! and Britain's Got Talent, have been ambassadors of The Prince's Trust for more than 20 years. In 2016, they fronted a special programme with Charles, then the Prince of Wales, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the youth charity. Over the years, Ant and Dec have hosted The Prince's Trust Awards ten times, and the duo will be taking to the stage again this year to celebrate the young winners as they receive their well-deserved awards.

Other Trust ambassadors set to be attending on the big day are Edward Enninful, the editor of British Vogue, who recently chaired The Prince's Trust Global Gala in New York City for the second year.
Lionel Richie, who as well as attending the Coronation on Saturday is one of the big names set to perform at the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday alongside Take That and Katy Perry, will also be in Westminster Abbey. Meanwhile, Repair Shop host Jay, who appeared in a special programme with the King earlier this year, is also set to attend thanks to his work with the Prince's Foundation.

Kelly Jones, lead singer of Welsh band Stereophonics, who were supported by the trust before they signed a record deal, receiving a grant to help them buy new equipment so they could perform live, has also confirmed. Other high-profile alumni of the charity invited to the event include magician Dynamo, real name Steven Frayne, who received support, advice and a business start-up loan.
"The Prince's Trust gave me the support no-one else would and it changed my life - that's real magic," he said.

Graduates from The Prince's Trust International programme are travelling to London from as far as Kenya, Barbados, Nigeria, Jordan and India, to be part of the glittering event. British-Ghanaian hair stylist Charlotte Mensah is attending after receiving a grant in 1999, which allowed her to set up her own salon, The Hair Lounge, in London's Portobello Road. In addition to the guests who will be in the Abbey, more than 30 people supported by the trust will attend a screening in St Margaret's Church, Westminster.
The Prince's Trust, founded in 1976, has supported more than one million young people in the UK since it was founded and now helps them in more than 20 countries around the world.
