Professor Higgs will give his speech at approximately 8am GMT
Professor Peter Higgs, the British scientist who proposed the existence of a particle that is now known as the Higgs Boson, will give his official Nobel lecture on 'Evading the Goldstone theorem' ahead of collecting his prize in Stockholm on Tuesday.
The greatest prize in science was awarded to the modest retired professor from Edinburgh and the Belgian scientist Francois Englert for the role they played in proposing the mechanism that explains how the most basic building blocks of the universe have mass.
Earlier this year, scientists using the Large Hadron Collider at Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, confirmed that they had found a particle that matched the theories.
It marked the culmination of 49 years of work since Professor Higgs and his colleagues first described the new type of particle.
