A Russian choir was welcomed at two performances in Catholic churches.

The Resurrection Choir of St Petersburg performed at John Fisher and Thomas More church on Saturday, and St Theresa’s on Sunday.

The choir, which has toured countries around Europe including the UK and Switzerland, consisted of eight members and their conductor, Yuri.

They were warmly received by host families from Friday to Monday, with meals at restaurants, trips to London and a tour detailing Elstree and Borehamwood’s film making history.
