Sir Rod Stewart says he is "delighted" after one of his songs have been chosen to feature on the King's Coronation playlist.

In a post on the social media site on Thursday afternoon, he said: "Delighted to see that they’ve chosen our version of Curtis Mayfield's song ‘People Get Ready’ with my old mate Jeff Beck to be on the official King’s Coronation playlist.
He added: "What an honour, Jeff would no doubt have been delighted too. Thank you."
Lovers of Sir Rod's music are also delighted, with one person commenting: "Wonderful! Congratulations Sir Rod." Another replied: "Congrats Sir Rodney. You truly are one of Englands national treasures."
A third wrote: "Simply respectful and an honour for you." While a fourth penned: "Your version is one of my favorite songs ever."
