Abide with Me - Military Wives Choirs

100 years ago, the Unknown Warrior was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey as a symbol of all those lost in war. To mark the centenary of the burial, the Military Wives Choirs were commissioned by Westminster City Council to reimagine ‘Abide with Me’. This much-loved hymn, as sung in the Abbey during the original service on 11th November 1920, became the first ever electrical recording sold to the public.
Members of the Military Wives Choirs from across the UK came together to create this tribute to the Unknown Warrior, and to bring his story to a new generation. Recorded during lockdown, the song highlights that our ethos of ‘stronger together’ is more important than ever.

[@LP-ne7vd]

WOW .

[@DarylReeceJames]

Lovely version of this amazing song... I just wonder if the unknown soldier was to look at the year 2020 and how people are to eachother... would he have even bothered fighting
I totally do appreciate what these men died for.
My Great Grandfather was in WW1... he was so lucky he returned! Thank you such a special man.

Sigh. Blessings to all who participated in creating this tribute.

[@carollamond9482]

Gentle not strident….very moving

[@LaurieWilliams-lk8fc]

"gentle not strident" - very different from most performances of this, with egos far more important than the music.

[@sdapeze]

Beautifully done. We are sending this out to our church family tomorrow for our virtual act of remembrance during lock down. The English Speaking Church of Mirepoix (in France). Thank you!

[@isobelmccauley2828]
