Live: Jean Michel Jarre - Monaco royal wedding


A heads up for an event on Friday, when Jean Michel Jarre plays in Monaco to mark the royal wedding.

While we in the UK have had plenty of royal wedding cake this summer, it's the turn of Prince Albert of Monaco, the sovereign of the principality, to tie the know with Zimbabwe-born South African Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock.

It will be the biggest event in the principality for decades, probably since the marriage of Albert's father to Grace Kelly, with events being held on Thursday ahead of the civil service on Friday and the religious service on Saturday.

The prince met his bride-to-be at a swimming event in 2000 in Monaco.

On the Thursday there will be a concert by the Eagles at the Louis II Stadium, with an audience consisting of "Monegasque citizens, residents, persons working in the Principality and people from neighbouring communities."

Jarre plays on Friday night, an open-air free event in the heart of the port.

15,000 people are expected to watch the Eagles. With regard the Jarre concert, the Princes Palace of Monaco just says "A very large audience is expected."

The Monaco concert will be transmitted live on TV on the Euronews channel and it will also be streamed live in a similar way to his London gig on 10/10/10 last year.
