HEREFORD Cathedral has played a big part in the life of Hereford Police Male Choir.
It was the venue for the choir's first concert 60 years ago when it was formed to sing at a celebration of the centenary of the old Herefordshire Constabulary and over the years have continued to entertain audiences in the cathedral with their fine choral singing.
The latest was the choir's Diamond Jubilee concert, marking six decades of song which has seen the choir - now open to men from all walks of life - sing in the Royal Albert Hall, on BBC TV and on tours of Europe and Canada. It has raised over one million pounds for charities.
To mark their long association with the cathedral the 65 strong choir has donated £2,965 to the Cathedral Perpetual Trust and the Dean, the Very Rev. Michael Tavinor dropped in on a rehearsal to thank the choristers and in return he was presented with their latest CD, '60 Years on the Beat,' which is available at Off the Wall gift shop in St Peters Street in the city.
