When Tom Holmes went down on one knee to propose to Lucy in Bath Abbey back in June, everyone in the 800 audience stood up and cheered. Tom sings in the Bath Chorus who were one of the Choirs performing at a Coronation Celebration Concert organised with Bath Abbey to support a number of small local charities.
Unbeknown to Lucy, Tom had written a special song called "When you Know" with the baritone solo sung by himself. Lucy had been strategically placed in the front pew by Tom and at the end of the song, Tom walked down from the stage and asked her to marry him, the answer was "yes."
The Mayor and Mayoress of Bath were present at the concert and were so moved by the proposal that they invited Tom and Lucy to the Mayor's Parlour as their guests. The Mayoress presented Lucy with flowers as well as other special gifts. Our picture shows Tom and Lucy with The Mayor and Mayoress on Wednesday August 14th in the Mayor's Parlour.
