Motown legend Diana Ross is set to perform as part of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace in London next month.

The soul icon and former Supremes star will make her grand return to the UK after 15 years, closing the show on June 4.

Queen and Adam Lambert will open the event, which is part of the celebrations marking the 75th Anniversary of the Queen's accession to the UK throne.

Acts like Mabel, Craig David, Nile Rogers and Duran Duran will also take to the stage, as will Sam Ryder, fresh from securing second place for the UK at Eurovision.
