The Station Singers’ Spring Concert in aid of St Teresa’s Hospice and Herriot Hospice Homecare raised over £1,400 for the charities.
St Mary’s Church in Richmond was packed to hear a varied and lively selection of songs from around the world.
The audience, in fine voice, joined the choirs in community singing and the evening ended with all choirs singing songs from West Side Story.
