SINGERS from a Suffolk military wives choir have performed on the official song for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, with Prince Harry.

Five members of the Wattisham Military Wives Choir went to Abbey Road studios in London to record the song - called Sing - which was written by Gary Barlow and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Prince Harry is currently undergoing Apache helicopter training at Wattisham Airfield and was asked by Gary Barlow to play tambourine.

Seven members of WMWC, will be performing the song at the Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace on June 4.

Liz Simpson, 30, is one of two military wives to sing solo on the single, performing with musicians as diverse as the African Children’s Choir, an Aboriginal guitarist and the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force Band.

She said: “I’m very honoured to be a part of it all, it’s such an exciting experience to have in my life and a true blessing. I’m very proud to be a part of the Wattisham Military Wives choir, the choir that rocks. Their love and support is so encouraging.”

Liz is the wife of corporal Craig Simpson, a medic with 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, based at Wattisham Airfield, and they have a two-year-old son Harry.

The women also feature on a version of Land of Hope and Glory on the single, performing with Alfie Boe.

The singers have joined some of the Commonwealth’s most talented and diverse musicians to perform on the single.

WMWC was set up in January with a �1,000 donation from the Royal British Legion to bring together wives and girlfriends from the base to support each other through a shared love of singing.

The choir will be performing in Bury St Edmunds at an Armed Forces Day celebration in the Abbey Gardens on June 30 and at Abbey Fest on July 22.
