Oh what a beautiful cover! Laura is so photogenic! <3 Is there anywhere I can hear the song in full? Not getting much from that Amazon sample. Well, that's me disappointed. I guess I'll look forward to 'Benedictus' if it is the Karl Jenkins one. I'll probably just download the one track, unfortunately, or borrow the album from the library.

I'll buy it support an original song. 50p goes to charity, doesn't it? Can't really judge a song without hearing the whole thing. <3 Laura looks STUNNING in the video. She oozes classic beauty. <3

Ooh, Amazon lets you tweet what you've just bought. Excellent way to promote songs! <3

Yep, for every digital download Decca will donate 50p to The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust.
I love Amazon for that too.

There's a story (a very twisted one) about Laura in the Daily Mail today. www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2114013/Laura-Wright-goes-waiting-tables-singing-special-Jubilee-song-Queen-Westminster-Abbey.htmlI'm sure you can work out what was omitted and the spin they've put on it without me pointing it out. :/ Great publicity for her though, and she (I always say this, don't I?) looks gorgeous in those photographs. It didn't occur to me until after I finished reading it - where the 2.5 milion figure came from? I know All Angels sold over a million, but that still leaves 1.5million unaccounted for. I thought the Last Rose sold little over 60,000, if that? Have I completely missed something? Or were they adding compilations onto the list (I have noticed sneaky managers add such numbers to their artists' tally).

My goodness, I was so distracted by the poor journalism that I didn't comment on anything else! How wonderful that the queen is a fan of Laura! <3 <3 The royals have good taste. Diana was a massive Sarah Brightman fan too.

See you there Dazza. It's my birthday and I'm on the front row.
I saw Laura for the first and only time at Bristol (Clifton) a few years ago when she a member of All Angels who were supporting Russell Watson. She has a beautiful voice and I'm really looking forward to this and the rest of the tour.

See you there Gill, i'll bring cake! ;D
I am up in the gods which is a rare choice for me but at least I am on the front row, I hope my camera is on form. It is the first time I will see Russell Watson so that is another reason to look forward to it.
I am glad that you like Laura. As you may have noticed I adore her and feel lucky to have been able to follow her career right from the beginning with All Angels to her launching herself as a solo artist.

Laura has just tweeted she will be singing the English National Anthem at Twickenham tomorrow before the England v Ireland game. If things go right England could just pip Wales for the Championshop. Good luck Laura and come on England!
