Anybody watched this? I thought it was lovely, and wonderful to see the Princess of Wales looking so well and happy.

The young singer at the end - Olivia Dean - was terrific, but I thought Paloma Faith was dreadful. Why on earth choose her when there are so many good British singers to pick from?

I think Gregory Porter has some scarring from an accident and that is why he wears the hat. I read that somewhere.

Just to point out Sparklefizz that Paloma Faith IS British - she was born and brought up in Hackney, London! Her song at the service and her singing style may not have blended in with the other songs and carols I agree and maybe she was not the best choice for this occasion, but she does have a terrific voice when singing in her own genre.

I know she's British. I should have said OTHER good British singers ..... Apologies.
