I was in the Sunday Morning Choir from 1948 - 1955. I was then Laurel Eden. My sisters Pauline & Carol were also in the choir. My sister Pauline went on to play the piano for the Sunday Morning Choir. I think I used to sing the welcome hymn with Dorothy Turner of Cynthia? I have misplaced my 1953 Jubilee book and would love to replace it if anyone can help me. Many thanks Laurel Vance.

Wow! Haven't seen this coverage before.....not sure how I found it today. A treasured memory of singing in Uncle Tom's Friendly Road Choir for the Queen and Prince Philip on Christmas morning 1953.....and now, 60 years later, have seen and heard (and think seen - though not certain!)myself as a 12 year old girl singing with all the other choir members on that special day!
