Gary Barlow Asks Prince Harry to Take Part in Diamond Jubilee Song

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Gary Barlow are working together to compose a special song to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, which will feature artists and contributors from the UK and The Commonwealth. The result of their collaboration will be performed at the star-studded Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace on 4th June.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, Barlow has asked Prince Harry to take part in the performance even if it means just playing the tambourine. Barlow commented: "I'm sure we'll get him, he'll do it for the cause."

To help create this unique piece of music, Gary will embark on a journey around the world to discover what The Queen means to the ordinary people of The Commonwealth. His journey will feature in an hour-long documentary for BBC One, commissioned by Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC One.

The challenge will be to not only explore the different musical cultures and traditions of these Commonwealth nations, but he will also look at the importance of The Queen to The Commonwealth.

The programme will be Executive Produced for the BBC by Mirella Breda, and Executive Produced & Directed by Ben Winston and Produced by Mark Jones for Fulwell 73.
