BBC Introducing artist Jerub said he was pleased with the performance

Among the other acts to perform at the King's Coronation concert were Take That, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Paloma Faith and opera star Andrea Bocelli.

Jerub said he felt "really honoured" to be asked to open the event that was "a moment in history" never to be repeated.

"I don't usually get nervous but let's just say my mouth was a bit dry," he said.

"It felt amazing, it went by so quickly, I guess because I was having fun [and] I was having such a great time doing it.

"Walking out and seeing the crowd, the energy was incredible."

Jerub said it was "great" to meet musical royalty such as Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, and with an EP of his own out soon he said he was "really excited" to get on with a summer of festivals, including Dot to Dot in his home city.

"I'm really grateful for the exposure, for more people to be able to hear my music, and [to] connect with them," he said.
