‘Together at Christmas’ set to air tonight

The Princess of Wales’s ‘Together at Christmas’ Carol Service is set to air on television tonight.

The annual carol service will be shown on ITV1 and ITVX. It was filmed on 6 December at Westminster Abbey.

It will be the fourth edition of the carol service and is sponsored by the Royal Foundation. It is a co-production between The Royal Foundation and BBC Studios Events Productions. Members of the Royal Family joined Catherine for the service focusing on love and empathy.

Ahead of the service, young performers from Restore the Music will entertain the 1,600 guests who have supported their communities through volunteering. Westminster Abbey’s decorations this year are inspired by nature. The Abbey’s renowned choir will perform carols; Paloma Faith, Olivia Dean and Gregory Porter will also perform.

The Princess of Wales will begin the service with a special introduction and Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald will narrate the show. Three community films will also be shown featuring Worcestershire Gingerbread Group, Beyond Cornwall and Sankofa Songsters.

It will also be available on ABC in Australia, TVNZ in New Zealand and BritBox in the US and Canada. The carol service will air again on Christmas Day at 6:00 am.
