Kate, 39, organized the concert, which also featured performances by Leona Lewis and Ellie Goulding, to show her gratitude to community leaders in the U.K. She added in her introduction that she also wanted to \"recognize those whose struggles perhaps have been less visible, too.\"

\"We've been through such a bleak time. We've seen so many challenges, we've lost our loved ones. We've seen our front-line workers under immense pressure. And, also, we've been more emotionally, and socially, distanced and isolated from each other,\" she said. \"But I suppose through that separation we've also realized how much we need each other and how acts of kindness and love can really bring us comfort and relief in times of distress.\"
