Beatles song is Jubilee theme

In the millennium year it was Lou Reed's Perfect Day that captured the mood of the nation. Now the BBC is hoping it can repeat the trick with its Music Live anthem for 2002 - The Beatles' All You Need Is Love.

To mark The Golden Jubilee the corporation's flagship music festival is going nationwide again this year.

On 3 June, The Queen will hear the first airing of the new version, which has been rearranged by composer Michael Kamen.

As with Perfect Day, it is hoped performers and members of the public across the country will join in simultaneous song. Many of those will be in Hyde Park for a free world music concert.
