A couple with the armed forces at heart will be performing together tonight at a special remembrance festival.

Military wife Georgina Turner and her husband Gary, from Kingsbridge, will both feature in the Plymouth Festival of Remembrance at Plymouth Pavilions.

Georgina will be singing as part of the Military Wives choir while her husband Gary, who serves on HMS Somerset, will conduct them.

The Wives' usual conductor, Rob Young, will be conducting an ensemble made up of several military wives choirs at the Royal Albert Hall for the National Remembrance Concert. As a result, former Royal Marines musician Gary volunteered to step in and help out the award-winning ensemble.

He said: 'The Pavilions was my favourite local venue when I was in the RM band service. We always got an appreciative and lively audience.

'To have the opportunity to conduct my wife as part of the wonderful Military Wives Choir in front of my old comrades is truly amazing. The ladies have come so far and have so much support locally and nationally, they have really touched the nation's heart.'

Having just performed at the Classic Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, at which the Military Wives Choir won the award for single of the year, Georgina is very proud to be singing at the Pavilions again.

She said: 'I joined the choir earlier this year and have had some amazing experiences already. Singing at the Royal Albert Hall with Gary Barlow, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Gareth Malone was unbelievable and an event I will never forget.'
