Clare Balding introduces multi-million-selling artist James Blunt live in Hyde Park.

James Blunt's breakthrough success happened in 2005 with his number one single 'You're Beautiful' from his debut album 'Back to Bedlam'. Since then, this former British Army officer has sold more than 20 million albums and 13 million singles around the world. Before he heads back on the road to tour his fifth studio album, he takes to the stage in Hyde Park.

Other entertainment on the day includes a live DJ set from Ana Matronic, a special edition of Popmaster, with Ken Bruce pitting Zoe Ball against Claudia Winkleman, and Sounds of the 80s, with Sara Cox presenting the era's pop videos. Clare Balding hosts A Question of 2, with Jeremy Vine, the Rev Kate Bottley and Jon Culshaw competing in a quiz testing their knowledge of Radio 2. And marking the network's 50th anniversary, Tony Blackburn and Paul Gambaccini introduce an orchestra piece encompassing Radio 2 themes and signature tunes.
