Hi girls,
In the news today:
Gerry and the Pacemakers’ emotional melody You’ll Never Walk Alone has topped the annual music chart of the most popular songs at funerals.
According to the Co-op Funeralcare, the song has been played at an estimated 9,500 funerals over the past year, taking over from perennial favourite, Frank Sinatra’s My Way.
It spent four weeks at number one in 1963, and was covered by Michael Ball, Sir Captain Tom Moore and the NHS Voices of Care Choir last April to raise money for charity.
The anthem is also famously the team song for Liverpool Football Club.
– not a bad choice, I’m inclined to say. If you’ve never heard it – well tut, tut, sort it out!
