The team was invited by the BBC to travel to Hyde Park and surprise the 40,000-strong audience and national viewing public.

Rock Choir founder, Caroline Redman, and her group opened the event and also collaborated with Michael Ball, Josh Groban and Albert Hammond. They additionally led a nostalgic Last Night of the Proms style flag-waving and crowd sing-a-long finale.
