The event will see a theatre piece that will feature 1,300 performers and 500 horses galloping through history in four acts: from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I through to the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, culminating with a grand finale.
What to Read Next
Each of the four acts will be overseen by a different event host including: Cruise, Lewis, Andoh and Titchmarsh.
Dame Mirren will play Queen Elizabeth I, while Djalili will introduce the cast of 'Queen's Players' as The Herald – who will lead viewers through time by linking the acts together and narrating the stories, while commenting on "absurd" moments in history.
Each act will revisit pivotal moments from the past – such as Elizabeth I's Tilbury Speech and James I and the Gunpowder Plot, and will also celebrate The Commonwealth and the UK's four nations.
