Megan Cope will be in Barry Island, also out and about talking to local residents throughout the day.

All viewers will have the chance to be part of the on-air conversation on the day by submitting their answer to the question: Tell us how Britain has changed over the past five years, and where do you see it heading next?

Limited edition merchandise to celebrate the day is also on offer at the GB News Shop - including our highly sought-after GBN pin badge, original GBN studio mug, Celebrate Britain keychain, tote bags, and more.

Ben Briscoe, GB News' Head of Programming and Talent, said: "We are very much looking forward to taking the channel to the people in a series of events across the nation where they will be the real stars of the show.

"The bond between the channel and our viewers and listeners is something very special: it's their backing that has made us the country's number one news channel.

"It's going to be a great day of inspiration - the teams cannot wait to get the shows on the road and Celebrate Britain."
