The lord-lieutenant of Somerset is set to host a special community Christmas carol service this festive season.
Mohammed Saddiq will welcome people to Taunton Minster on December 6 as part of the Royal Foundation Christmas celebrations.
The Together at Christmas service will mirror the carol gathering organised by The Princess of Wales at Westminster Abbey.
This Westminster Abbey event will underscore the crucial roles individuals play in aiding others facing adversity.
It will be part of a special programme broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve.
The Taunton Minster service is one of 15 Together at Christmas services across the UK, supported by The Royal Foundation and hosted by Lord-Lieutenants.
These services pay tribute to those who assist others in times of need.
Around 120 local organisations that contribute to their communities in Somerset have been invited to attend.
The choir from Trull VA Primary School will also feature in the event.
Mr Saddiq said: "I am delighted that so many organisations which support our communities in Somerset have been invited to participate in the service, providing an opportunity to acknowledge them and thank the generosity which is so evident in the county.
"It should be a joyful community celebration of Christmas celebrating empathy, love and kindness."
