Andrew Lloyd Webber has opened up about the mysterious person he was sitting next to at the Coronation.A video of the unknown man went viral thanks to the bold look he opted to go for at the Coronation on May 6.Many amused royal fans questioned whether the bespectacled gentleman - who sported an impressive moustache - was in disguise, with some even wondering whether Meghan Markle just couldn't take the FOMO.Others believed the man was planning to 'steal the crown jewels', but now the 75-year-old has confirmed what happened reports the Mirror.Tweeting today, he said: “I can confirm it probably wasn’t MM and had no jewels on his person as far as I could see – ALW."The man in question has been identified as composer Sir Karl Jenkins, 79, whose work Tros y Garreg - Crossing the Stone - was performed during the Coronation.The piece is part of a concerto commissioned by The King more than two decades ago when he was Prince of Wales.Speaking about how honoured he was to have taken part in the star-studded event, Karl told the BBC: “It obviously sums up Welsh culture — the harp — and [King Charles III] has always supported Welsh music.“I don’t know whether he chose it, but he was happy to have it there.

I know he likes it, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked me,” he added.Composer and musical theatre legend Andrew also played a big part during the Coronation.He was honoured with writing the ceremony's anthem, which he claimed had been "a kind of antidote" for dealing with the death of his son earlier this year.Nicholas lost his battle with cancer in March, leaving his father "absolutely devastated".Andrew's song, Make a Joyful Noise, was played publicly for the first time as the King was enthroned on Saturday.
