I was 11 when I sang at King George VI's funeral - this week has brought back so many memories. ✍️ I have watched the services on TV and imagined how those boys singing must be feeling, and the nerves they will have ahead of the Queen’s funeral on Monday.
I was in the choir at St George’s School Windsor Castle. It instilled in me a sense of duty that I have carried for the rest of my life
There were only about 70 boys at St George’s School Windsor Castle when I was there, of whom about 24 were choristers. My father was a minor canon at the chapel so we actually lived in the castle precinct – the view looking out of the window on to the chapel was beautiful, we didn’t realise how lucky we were as children at the time.
And for the Queen’s Coronation, we travelled to sing with other choirs up at Westminster Abbey. Looking back I realise what a privilege it was to be at the school during that period of time.
