Royal fans in the crowd and viewers at home will no doubt be looking forward to Lionel taking to the stage to sing some of his most-adored songs, perhaps such as All Night Long and Dancing on the Ceiling, but the singer has already been seen out celebrating the historic event.
Not only did the Endless Love hitmaker attend the coronation service held at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, but Lionel paid a visit to Buckingham Palace earlier in the week for King Charles' coronation garden party.
The singer, 73, was seen chatting and sharing laughs with the King and Queen, while his girlfriend, Lisa Parigi, 33, stood by his side and joined in the jovial conversation. Lisa looked stunning in a striking blue dress with a white fascinator. But who is Lisa? Here's all you need to know about the singer's girlfriend of ten years.

Lionel is clearly thrilled about performing at the coronation concert for King Charles and told Good Morning America he was excited to be part of history. He also revealed that he and the King have known each other for some time thanks to the singer's involvement with the Princes' Trust, but still admitted he felt "surprised" to be asked.
"To get that invitation, 'Would you like to witness a little bit of history?' is not too bad for a little Alabama boy coming up through the ranks," he told Parade, adding: "I'm very proud to be there."
