The Banbury Choral Society has returned from its milestone performance at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel on Saturday (July 15).

Over 40 singers from the group made the trip to Windsor for what proved to be a memorable experience and a significant performance for the choir, which has been singing since 1942.

The choir rehearsed in the underground dungeons of the chapel, which are steeped in rich history, before singing in the chapel with its stunning architecture and vaulted ceilings.
