Ledbury Community Choir has returned home from a visit to the Swedish twin town of Stromstad.

It followed a visit to Ledbury last summer by the Stromstad choir, Arter och Flask. The Ledbury visitors stayed with Swedish choir members.

Choir chairman John Hall said: "They were the perfect hosts and welcomed us into their homes, making our stay both rewarding and interesting.

"Friendships initiated last year were widened and cemented and will no doubt flourish further in the shared joy of music.

"The highlight of the visit was a joint concert to a packed hall, where both choirs sang in Swedish and English."

The Ledbury choir gave a well-received rendition of a Swedish polka and Abba's classic Money, Money, Money. At a social evening, the Ledbury choir presented Arter och Flask with a large framed photograph of Church Lane, Ledbury, as a memento.
