WHO WILL FEATURE IN TOGETHER AT CHRISTMAS 2023?

Whilst royal fans might already be well aware of the members of the Royal Family who attended the Together at Christmas carol service this year, you might be intrigued about who else will be seen in the broadcast. According to ITV, the service will feature contributions from Andrea and Virginia Bocelli, Dame Sheila Hancock, Ugo Monye and Rio and Kate Ferdinand.

When it comes to those whose wonderful voices will be heard throughout the service, the Westminster Abbey choir will of course play a central role.
