LONDON - In a departure from her usually restrained public appearances, Britain's Queen Elizabeth is to launch a nationwide singalong to the Beatles' hit "All You Need is Love" as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations.
Musicians in 21 locations throughout the United Kingdom will take their cue from the Queen in the BBC event -- though it's unlikely the monarch will begin the singing herself.
"We're still discussing how the Queen will begin it," Bill Morris, festival director for Music Live, said on the BBC website.
The Queen will be in Slough, Berkshire, on June 3 to launch the song, which will then be picked up from BBC broadcasts by musicians who will join the singing in a relay fashion.
Later in the day, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney will sing the song at a Buckingham Palace concert to be beamed worldwide by the BBC and staged in the palace gardens for 12,000 free ticketholders.
Among those joining McCartney will be Eric Clapton, Tom Jones, Aretha Franklin, Brian Wilson, S Club 7 and winner of the "Pop Idol" contest television show Will Young.
