The 16 boys have spent weeks practising at King’s College Chapel for the hugely popular A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which was first held in 1918 and has been televised by the BBC for more than 60 years. The service, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, was directed for 37 years by Stephen Cleobury, who retired in September and died last month following a long illness. This year it will be led by new director of music, Daniel Hyde, who is only the sixth person to hold the post since the turn of the 20th century.
