SIR – Thank you people of the Faithful City and adjoining counties for filling St George’s Catholic Church and for the warmth of the welcome to Hereford Police Choir and an outstanding star in the making, soprano Georgia Francis of Malvern.

You generous folk clearly enjoyed the music in Elgar’s church and the most important point – you helped swell the funds of the mayor’s two charities, the homeless at St Paul’s and Worcester Breast Cancer Unit.

BRIAN S WILLIAMS, Secretary, Hereford Police Choir
