TWO members of a west of Scotland Military Wives Choir are to have their dream come true as they join Gareth Malone's famous group of spouses in a special prom at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Sian Gomersall and Tricia Imrie will perform with the Proms Military Wives Choir in a sell-out concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War next month.
Mrs Gomersall said: "We are delighted to be performing in the Proms Military Wives Choir and are honoured to be part of this very special event.
"It's really appropriate that the concert will also remember the role that women and music played during the First World War."
Mrs Imrie added that she hoped they would do their husbands proud.
The 100-strong Proms Military Wives Choir is made up of singers from 42 military wives choirs.
The event, which forms part of the BBC's annual Proms series, will take place on Sunday, August 3.
It will also feature life-size puppets from the National Theatre's production of War Horse by Michael Morpurgo.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
