Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman has also been unveiled as one of the hosts for the day. It was revealed Edith sent a text message to one of the show co-ordinators offering her help as soon as she heard the announcement just over a week ago. “We were very touched by Edith’s personal text message and immediately put her to the top of the presenters’ pile.” commented Paul.

Yesterday Lulu was also revealed as bringing her own contribution to the show, as were Camera, who will play at 3.00pm prior to the main show start at 3.30pm. “We wanted to say thank you for the support we have received from musicians and bands” explained Paul. “Camera offered to play as the audience arrives, which is very much in the spirit of this event, and so their performance is our thank you to every band, singer or musician who has called in offering to help.”
