She said: “Jamie, I’m so sorry, I forgot to say, I decided to get the bus to work today.” To which Jamie replied: “Why on earth did you get the bus to work?”

She went on to explain that she’s accidentally got on a London tour bus, and that she’s having “a lovely little look around London.” The radio host continued: “We went past Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, makes me proud to be British.”

Amanda cut a stylish figure in a pretty floral dress,by Suzannah and powder blue coat, which she accessorised with a pair of black sunglasses, delicate jewellery and white heels.

She headed to The Mall to greet royal fans that had camped out on the roads connecting Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace, so that they secured the best possible views for the celebrations on Saturday.

The coronation will take place in Westminster Abbey on Saturday at 11am, with the Coronation Big Lunch and Coronation Concert following on Sunday.

Earlier this week, Amanda gave her opinion on the official coronation dish which was personally chosen by King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla. While on air, on the Heart Fm Breakfast show, Amanda taste tested the coronation quiche, which features broad beans, spinach, cheese and tarragon.

The radio host praised the dish, saying  “Oh the tarragon…the hint of tarragon”, referring to the herb included in the recipe.
