Singing Soldiers should wear uniform

Singing servicemen The Soldiers have been told they can't wear their uniforms when they sing the national anthem at the Royal Variety Performance. An MoD spokeswoman said: "When they perform they're earning money. Nobody is allowed to use the Queen's uniform for that."

Rubbish. You don't see our military bands playing concerts in civvies - and they are paid to perform. 

The artists who perform at the Royal Variety Performance don't receive a fee, as all the money goes to charity.The Soldiers' CD was recorded to raise money for military charities, including Help for Heroes.It's only right that they should wear their uniforms when they play for the Queen, who is the head of our armed forces.
