FARNHAM Youth Choir’s alumni will serenade last-minute Christmas shoppers and those picking up their turkeys in Lion and Lamb Yard on Christmas Eve.

They will be joined between 12.30pm and 3pm this Saturday by ex-choir member Laura Sylvester, who recently returned to the UK following eight months of pioneering treatment for a rare connective tissue disorder in Washington DC.

Laura still has to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds to fund her ongoing treatment for life-threatening Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and will be grateful of any donations on Saturday.
