Secretary Elsa Barclay said: “The boys are very chuffed I have to say. We’ll be taking part in the morning service itself then later on in the day we will be putting on a programme in one of the bandstands

“We haven’t finalised what we’ll be singing as yet but I know that we will be including some really stirring numbers like Ave Maria and I believe - the sort of stuff that makes the hair on your neck stand up.

“It’s a real honour to be asked to take part and of course we are all really excited about it,” said Mrs Barclay.

The choir has had a very successful year so far - after recently staging a giant charity concert involving local schools Their Summer Seranade raised a whopping £1000 for the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust
