NEWSREADER Mary Nightingale will be acting as compere at tonight's Marlow Choral Society Christmas Carol Concert.
The ITV presenter lived in Marlow from the age of four and went to Danesfield School. Mary’s mother, Jennifer Nightingale, herself sang with Marlow Choral Society for many years.
Jennifer also helped at Marlow Age Concern, serving lunches for many years and latterly was a grateful recipient of its services. Mary’s mother Jennifer died in July 2012 and the Choral Society sang at her funeral in All Saints’ Church, Marlow.
Proceeds from the concert will be divided between Marlow Age Concern and Peach, a charity based in Ascot, Berkshire, for children with autism. Mary has chosen Marlow Age Concern as her charity in memory of her mother.
The annual charity Christmas Concert, conducted by Jackie Duxbury, takes place at 7.30pm in the Shelley Theatre, Court Garden Leisure Centre, Pound Lane, Marlow.
Tickets cost £10 (children £5) and are available from WPS Stationers in Spittal Street, Marlow.
