A spokesperson from King's School Worcester said: "King’s is proud to learn that Peter Holder will play the organ at the funeral of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."

Samuel Hudson, Director of Music at Worcester Cathedral, said: "At Worcester Cathedral we were proud to see two former choristers taking prominent musical roles in the State Funeral of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

"Peter Holder, a former chorister in Worcester Cathedral Choir, played the organ at the service held at Westminster Abbey (where he is Sub-Organist), and James Vivian, a former Head Chorister of Worcester Cathedral Voluntary Choir, conducted the choir at the service which followed at St George’s Chapel, Windsor (where he is the Organist and Director of Music). We applaud and congratulate these talented musicians on playing such a key role in this historic occasion."

The Choir of Westminster Abbey also sang at the funeral.

It consists of up to thirty boys and twelve professional adult singers, known as Lay Vicars.

The Abbey's bells rang both before and after the funeral by its group of volunteer bell ringers.

The Westminster Abbey Company of Ringers is made up of ten principal members, all experienced ringers drawn from across the country.
