Filming in UK for Queen's Christmas message

Singers, band members and schoolchildren told of their joy on Friday after being invited to take part in the creation of the special Christmas message given by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.

Members of the Central Band of the Royal British Legion were asked to play music for the festive broadcast while singers from the Singology Community Choir provided the vocals.

Children from a local primary school also played a special part in the recording by creating decorations which were hung on the Christmas tree at Windsor Castle.
