Catherine, Princess of Wales, is presiding over her yearly Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey, with attendees featuring members of the royal family, famous faces, and community champions who have supported their local areas.
The sizable congregation will listen to a selection of carols, music and readings from stars like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Kate Winslet.
The focus of the event, held in the atmospheric historic church on Friday afternoon, is generosity and expressing affection towards one's neighbour.
Among the guests will be Anna and Jonathan Cordiner, whose child passed away from a brain tumour, and who set up a charity, a charity called Kayleigh's Wee Stars, to support families who have a child with a terminal illness.
"Your efforts, love, and understanding, often quietly and unspoken, and without any expectation or recognition, make an extraordinary difference to the well-being of people," wrote Catherine in a note prior to the carol service.
The Princess of Wales is continuing her own gradual return to public life subsequent to her illness and medical care, recently giving her first public speech for two years, in which she talked about recognising the "discreet, frequently unseen labour of caregivers".
Attendees entering the Abbey can listen to budding artists backed by the Future Talent charity, co-founded by the former royal to increase availability of musical tuition.
An 18-year-old named Carys Wood, who plays the trumpet and is from Pembrokeshire, has been helped by the charity, with funding assisting with musical instruments, lessons and travel costs - and she said it was "amazing" to be playing at the evening's event.
"Musical pursuits are frequently pricey," she stated. She is now enrolled at the Royal Academy of Music, and added that "everyone should have the opportunity" to develop their musical skills.
Her younger sibling Eliza, aged 11, who plays the euphonium, will also be at the Abbey. "It's unbelievable that I get to perform here in front of so many notable figures," she said.
Within the audience will be people from various age groups.
That will encompass Saphia Turner, aged nine, recipient of a youth community award, who sells artwork and carries out sponsored challenges to generate funds for local food charities.
The Abbey has been adorned with custom-created holiday decorations, with TV cook Mary Berry and florist Simon Lycett helping to make them.
The musical lineup includes recording artist Katie Melua, the Abbey's own choir and a Cornish sea shanty group, Fisherman's Friends, who said the invitation to sing was "a dream come true."
This annual carol service will be televised and shown on television on December 24th.
