Paralympic gold medallist Hannah Cockroft and comedian Jon Culshaw are due to take part in the service in front of a 2,000-strong congregation to celebrate the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
The youth achievement programme, which allows participants to win bronze, silver and gold awards, was launched in 1956, inspired by Philip's Gordonstoun school.
Over the past 60 years, more than 5.6 million young people have started the programme, and almost 2.5 million have achieved awards.
