Dame Emma Thompson has been hailed for her 'act of kindness' to a Coronation guest yesterday
Gyles Brandreth has revealed Dame Emma Thompson heroically came to the aid of a Coronation guest during the service at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, when King Charles was officially crowned as monarch.
Speaking to the BBC about the service, he said: “I was in the abbey for this extraordinary day that was majestic, magnificent and moving. The broadcaster also reflected on someone of the notable individuals he met, including the oldest recipient of the Victoria Cross still alive, as well as Dame Emma’s act of kindness.
“I think it’s the reason we were so moved, you could see the stillness in him, the concentration, he was there in the moment. US singer Katy Perry, Australian musician Nick Cave, British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, BBC director-general Tim Davie, actress Dame Joanna Lumley, TV host Jay Blades and singer Lionel Richie, who will perform at the Coronation Concert on Sunday, were also on the guest list.
