They rehearsed at The Guards Chapel then performed at Abbey Road. The aim is to make the song an anthem for all forces children.On Armed Forces Day, the choir were invited to perform 'Welcome Home' at The National Memorial Arboretum in front of HRH Princess Anne, where 100 forces families were treated and thanked for their service. HRH Princess Anne kindly took the time to chat with the choir after their performance before joining the families.For more news from the Music Department, please click here.
