The Kingdom Choir is a talented group of singers and performers from London, UK, who have been sharing their unique sound and spirit with audiences all over the world for more than two decades. The group aims to showcase the sense of community that they all share and celebrate their shared love of music and performance.
In 2018, the Kingdom Choir found themselves on a British Airways flight en route to the Invictus Games in Sydney, Australia. The event, founded by Prince Harry, brings together military personnel who have been injured, wounded, or fallen ill during their service. The choir was set to perform at the event in front of a star-studded audience, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
To make the journey more enjoyable, the Kingdom Choir decided to put on an impromptu performance on the plane. A video of the performance was later uploaded to YouTube and has since gone viral with almost 13 million views and 195,000 likes. The choir began their rendition of “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King with members standing up one by one, snapping their fingers and humming the song’s intro. Passengers soon started smiling and looking for the best view of the performance.
The Kingdom Choir’s uplifting performance not only made the passengers’ journey more enjoyable but also captured the attention of millions of viewers around the world. Their mission to bring people together through music has clearly resonated with people all over the globe, and their performance on the plane was a testament to their talent, energy, and passion.
