A choir of almost 3,000 singers were joined by a large audience on Albert Square, and the event was televised live on BBC News and the One Show, it was also transmitted across the city to big screens at Cathedral Gardens and Media City.
The tube on-site team was led by Melvyn Coote, who was humbled and honoured to be part of such an important community event. tube deployed one hundred and forty-two d&b loudspeakers across Albert Square and Cathedral Gardens and looking after the PA on Albert square was tube’s Adam Taylor.
