They will be joined on stage by singers Claire Prewer, Jane Stevenson and Lynne Lindner.

The night will end with a rousing rendition of Land of Hope and Glory (Pomp & Circumstance No.1) to fireworks overhead.

Councillor Andy Smith said: “With first class music, picnicking in the beautiful surroundings of Beacon Park and plenty of community cheer, Lichfield Proms promises to be a fantastic evening for the whole family.”

The late summer event will also feature activities for children, hot food and drink stalls and a proms shop where concert-goers can stock up on their patriotic flags and hats. Car parking is available in Beacon Park for a £5 donation on the night, which includes a programme. Concert-goers should follow the signs from Lower Sandford Street to the temporary car park.
