Playlist to mark King's coronation featured Dizzee Rascal track despite his ... trends now
An official Government playlist compiled to celebrate the King's coronation featured a track by grime artist Dizzee Rascal - despite his domestic violence conviction.
The musician lost an appeal last week after being found guilty in April of assaulting his ex-fiancee, Cassandra Jones.
Dizzee Rascal's track Dance Wiv Me, featuring DJ Calvin Harris and singer Chrom3, was originally one of 28 songs on the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport's public Coronation Celebration Playlist on Spotify.
It was removed later on Monday, but neither the DCMS nor Buckingham Palace has commented as to why it was first included.
The Queen Consort, who will also be anointed and crowned at the coronation on May 6, has determinedly campaigned against domestic violence for years.

Other hits on the playlist, which runs for one hour and 56 minutes, include The Beatles' Come Together, Boney M's Daddy Cool, Harry Styles' Treat People With Kindness, Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill, the Spice Girls' Say You'll Be There and the appropriately titled King by Years And Years.
The compilation appears as a link on the new official coronation website - coronation.gov.uk - under Toolkit, a range of materials designed to help the nation celebrate the King's crowning.
Monday marks three months until the high-profile event, which forms part of a weekend of festivities.
