Katherine Jenkins recalls final time she sang for the Queen as she pays tribute after recording new national anthem

Katherine Jenkins has paid a glowing tribute to Queen Elizabeth II saying she feels "very lucky" to have sung for her. The classical singer added that she was a "massive fan" of the late Queen and was "hugely inspired" by her work.

The 42-year-old appeared on Sky News on Thursday, September 15 when she reflected on her memories of the Queen and the last time that she sang for her. She also spoke about singing the first recording of God Save the King, which she described as a "huge honour".

Speaking to Kay Burley, Katherine said: "I feel very lucky to have met her over the years and to have sung to her from things like her Diamond Jubilee, Platinum Jubilee, Festivals of Remembrance, in the gardens here at Buckingham Palace for the Coronation concerts and then in more private settings as well.
