A minutes silence for the pope? on 19:56 - Apr 30 by azuremerlangus
Apart from singing the hymn ‘Abide with Me’ at the FA Cup Final.
I remember all the contortions that the FA went through when the old-fashioned "community singing", led by white suited conductor Arthur Caiger, fell out of favour with the fans. They tried to revitalise it by using celebrities such as Frankie Vaughan, Tommy Steele & Bruce Forsyth but it was still largely ignored so now I think a celebrity performs "Abide With Me". I don't recall it at all from the 1 FA Cup Final that I attended.
