Two attend abbey carols By Faith Eckersall Representatives of two Fordingbridge organisations were invited to attend the Duchess of Cambridge’s carol service at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday, December 8. People from Fordingbridge Greener Living and The Branch (New Life Community Church) were invited to the festive event, after being nominated by the Co-op due to the level of support offered to people in need over the last year. The service was hosted by the Duchess of Cambridge and supported by the Royal Foundation to recognise and celebrate the work of ‘individuals and organisations across the nation who have stepped up to support their communities through the pandemic’.
BSO promises a couple of crackers The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is presenting a Christmas treat for the ears – two concerts at Poole Lighthouse Theatre to celebrate the festive season. Tomorrow, Saturday December 18, at 7.30pm, the BSO presents Christmas Crackers 2021, with a
programme of festive favourites with a distinct twist of Sinatra! The programme includes Come Fly with Me, Luck Be a Lady, Santa’s Sleigh Ride and Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. Things turn more traditional still on Thursday, December
23, with a Celebration of Christmas Carols. The audience will be treated to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Hark The Herald Angels Sing and many other favourites, starting at 7.30pm. For more details, visit bsolive.com/events/christmas -crackers-2021.
