269 singers from 44 cathedrals - including Hereford Cathedral - have lent their voices to lockdown single "Sing Forever".

They all filmed their individual vocal parts from their livings rooms and bedrooms.

The recording of the Robert Prizeman song aims to raise £10,000 to help choirs that are struggling to keep going through the coronavirus crisis.

You can donate money by going to their Just Giving page.

The money will go to the Cathedral Choirs Emergency Fund, which overall wants to raise £1 million and make grants to cathedral choirs in need.
