Disguised as a seemingly solo busker, Rock Choir leader Rachel Button was singing ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ by Keane at the Cross, only to be gradually joined by around 100 singers who were mingling among the crowds.

The group then treated the growing audience to several more songs including ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ by Guns N’ Roses and ‘Club Tropicana’ by Wham.
The stunt was organised in aid of mental health awareness week, an annual event held by the Mental Health Foundation.
Rachel said: “We have a great time when we are all singing together. It really lifts our spirits and has an amazing positive impact on our mental health and overall wellbeing. We love performing and wanted to do something to brighten the day of people who were out shopping!”
