Her name is Louise Dearman.

Yes thanks mamy I've just googled her

[Barsel]

Good strong voice, must be a bit nerve racking being the opening act at that gig. :-) x

[tamaris]

Quite

[Barsel]

Such a shame the Duke of Edinburgh can't make these occasions anymore, I think the Queen looks quite lost without him at her side.

[tamaris]

Yes agreed.

He was the Patron of the 14th Forgotten Army. They have a separate ceremony a day later but I suspect he is not well enough to attend that one any more. :-(
