British Army’s Christmas carols unite soldiers in historic Chelsea chapel
The British Airway's annual Christmas carol service took place at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, bringing together soldiers from across the forces. The historic event, held in the candlelit 1691 Wren Chapel, celebrated the season while honouring service personnel and veterans. Attendees included senior officers, new recruits, and long-serving veterans in a show of unity and tradition.
The service was led by The Reverend Canon Michael Parker, Chaplain General of His Majesty's Land Forces, alongside The Reverend Steven Brookes, Chaplain of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Among the guests were the Head of the Army, General Sir Roly Walker, and the first women to join the Grenadier Guards, reflecting the Army's evolving diversity.
The carol service highlighted the British Army's ongoing commitments both at home and abroad. With troops engaged in missions worldwide, the event served as a moment of reflection and connection. The Army Benevolent Fund's involvement underscored its role in assisting service members and their loved ones during times of need.
