“Her Majesty has been a Queen for all the people during her reign and her taste in music reflects that,” explained Cllr Marguerite Beard-Gould who is organising the event on behalf of Walmer Town Council.

“We were fascinated to discover that her personal music favourites range from George Formby Leaning on a Lamp Post to Annie Get Your Gun, Vera Lynn and Scottish bagpipes - all of which we intend – with the help of the Deal Music and Arts to provide on the night.
