Petroc Trelawny presents a special celebratory breakfast show as the bank holiday weekend marking Her Majesty the Queen's platinum jubilee gets under way.

All the music featured in this morning's programme will be connected to Her Majesty the Queen. There'll be music featured in the coronation and performances from people awarded the Queen's Medal for Music such as violinist Nicola Benedetti and pianist Imogen Cooper. We'll hear from all of the Masters of the Queen's Music (Sir Arthur Bliss, Malcolm Williamson, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and Judith Weir) and the Friday Poem will feature a reading by Claire Skinner of 'The Crown' by the current poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy.
