Gospel music was Prince Charles' idea, says choir leaderpublished at 23:54 British Summer Time 19 May 2018
It was Prince Charles' office that first approached the Kingdom Choir about performing at the wedding, according to the group's leader Karen Gibson.
"The couple didn't actually ring us at first, the call came from Clarence House," said Ms Gibson.
"I understand that Prince Charles really likes gospel music."
The Kingdom Choir sang the 60s hit Stand By Me and the gospel classic Amen/ This Little Light of Mine.

BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell says the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex offer the potential to reach audiences who instinctively might not identity with the royal family.
The intensity of the feelings they have for each other was very visible at their wedding, he said.
The service itself was "very Harry and Meghan" with the gospel choir and "passionate" address by the Most Rev Bishop Michael Curry breaking new ground.
He added the couple will be pleased and relieved the day went so smoothly and successfully,
