The Mission to Seafarers has announced that its annual carol concert in aid of the society will be attended by Inspector Lynley star Nathaniel Parker, in addition to the President of the society, HRH The Princess Royal.

On 11th December Parker, who also appears in the newly released film Stardust, will be a guest reader at the event held at the Church of St Dunstan and All Saints in Stepney, London.

The director of fundraising of the charity, Carol Taylor, said, "The Mission is honoured that Her Royal Highness will be present at this year's carol concert."

"The concert will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the Christmas story, to hear Nathaniel speak and to remember all those who work on the high seas," she said.
