Community heroes will be representing the county at a very special Royal carol service in the capital next week.
The Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey next Thursday will take place just days after a high profile event in Telford will bring together 200 people to shine a spotlight on the area's unsung heroes and highlight the power of human connection and comfort in bringing people together during the Christmas period.
A spokesman for the organisers said:"It is dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the values Her Majesty demonstrated throughout her life, including duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others. Telford's St George's Church has been chosen to provide one of eight venues around the country. The carol service there will be held on Tuesday with space for 200 people.
Local Together At Christmas community carol services are being hosted in Belfast, Handsworth Birmingham, Glasgow, Middlesborough, Newcastle, Peterborough, St George’s Church, Telford, and St Thomas’ Church, Swansea. It will see the world-renowned Westminster Abbey choir perform some of the nation’s most beloved carols, including ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’, which was selected through a public poll.
The event will be broadcast as part of Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, a special programme narrated by Catherine Zeta Jones, airing on ITV1 on Christmas Eve.
