“This will be the sixth time for Faryl to have the honour of singing the National Anthem at Wembley.”

Faryl’s past performances at Wembley, which has a 90,000 capacity, include singing before the start of the FA Cup finals in 2009 and 2010 and at last year’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final between Bristol City and Walsall.

She also sang the National Anthem before last year’s Community Shield match between Arsenal and Chelsea.

But it all started in Kettering with Faryl aged just 10 winning 13 awards at the Eisteddfod in her home town before she took first prize in the 10 to 15 age group at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.

People can catch Faryl’s forthcoming performance at Wembley on Sky Sports at 2.30pm on Sunday, April 3.
