Jane says: It was such a pleasure to sing for Dame Mary Berry when National Trust were holding a World Record attempt for knitted bunting, and a privilege to sing live on BBC Radio 5 Live for a special VE Day commemoration hosted by Adrian Chiles. And last but by no means least, it was, of course, a huge honour to sing for the late Squadron Leader George 'Johnny' Johnson at a Dambusters evening under the wings of Concorde.
