THE ROYAL WEDDING
I was away from home on May 19, 2018.
I missed watching the royal wedding in real time.
My personal tradition has been to get up early and watch every bit of it.
I do have it recorded.
I’ve been catching up!
Here’s the surprising performance of this classic song by a UK gospel choir.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the newly named Duke and Duchess of Sussex, surprised their guests with a gospel choir doing a powerful rendition of “Stand By Me” during the royal wedding at Windsor Castle on Saturday, May 19, 2018.
The song is a significant choice.
First recorded by Ben E. King and released in 1961, it became an anthem for political progress and has been heard at many a black church service.
Karen Gibson and the Kingdom Choir, a London-based gospel choir, performed the song for the couple from the west end of St. George’s Chapel at the castle.

The royal wedding will feature the uplifting sounds of the gospel choir singing the soul classic Stand By Me and a song popular in African-American churches. Issue date: Saturday May 19, 2018. St George’s Chapel’s lofty heights normally reverberate to traditional choral music but the Kingdom Choir, directed by its founder Karen Gibson, is expected to put on an inspirational performance.
