Another chance to hear the finale to Radio 2's commemoration of the 70th anniversary of D-Day from London's Royal Albert Hall
Another chance to hear the finale to Radio 2's commemoration of the 70th anniversary of D-Day from London's Royal Albert Hall.
Hosts Jeremy Vine, Dermot O'Leary and Louise Minchin re-tell the story of key moments of D-Day, with performances from a fantastic line-up, including Patrick Stewart in the role of Sir Winston Churchill. Katherine Jenkins OBE sings a virtual duet of We'll Meet Again with Dame Vera Lynn.
Dame Vera's part is taken from a vintage recording, which is combined with Katherine's live performance. And acclaimed folk singer and musician Seth Lakeman performs a song he has written about his grandfather who served at D-Day and, years later, took a young Seth to Arromanches Beach to recount that fateful day.
The 91热爆 Concert Orchestra is joined by a band featuring musicians drawn from all three UK Armed Forces.
This concert was first broadcast live as part of Radio 2's D-Day commemorations on Friday 6th June 2014
