Special guests also make their appearance in a replica scene of the upcoming Windsor Concert which features Lego models of the headline acts, including Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Take That. The Prince and Princess of Wales alongside their three children are also featured in the model as they sit watching the concert from the royal box.
The impressive scene was built using more than 25,000 bricks and took a team of expert model makers over 600 hours to create. Chief Model Maker, Paula Laughton, said: “It’s always a joy to be able to recreate iconic moments in British history in Lego form, so we couldn’t miss the chance to mark this once-in-a-generation moment to recreate a coronation in miniature.
