A tube station security guard stunned passengers as she joined one of the country's top classical musicians in a beautiful tribute to The Queen.
Anna Lapwood, an organist, conductor and TV and radio broadcaster, sat the at the organ in London Bridge station to play some songs as a tribute to the late monarch who died on Thursday aged 96.
And she formed an unlikely duet with a guard called Marcella who asked her to play a famous soprano piece by Handel and then left her in awe with her singing talent.

"This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen" said Anna, who at 21 became the youngest person in history to hold the director of music position at an Oxbridge college, on Twitter.
"This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer!" as she shared a video of the spine-tingling rendition of the song.
Alongside a second video of passengers clapping she added: "(And yes - she got the audience and applause she deserved by the end!! We ended up doing a whole load of duets and it was pure joy)."
The video has already been with the pair being showered with praise for the touching moment, the clip of which has now been viewed more than a million times.
TV presenter and journalist Andrew Marr said: "Just lovely. Twitter can be lovely." Mike Mason said: "We should never forget that ordinary people can have extraordinary talents that we never find."
Well-wishers are continuing to pour into the capital to pay their respects to The Queen. The ten days of national mourning for the late monarch continues on Tuesday with her coffin being moved from the Palace of Holyrood House to St Giles' Cathedral where it will lie in rest for 24 hours.
