The singers joined 160 soldiers at the Leicestershire airport at 7am for a flight to Helmand on board a chartered aircraft often used by the military to transport troops
You do not know how much that will Rankle in Leicester, when looking at naming the Airport Nottingham was chosen, though it is on the border and in Leicestershire it actually has a Derbyshire postcode, it was named Nottingham East Midlands Airport, though all the policing costs etc are picked up by Leicestershire as it is in their county.....
Shame he never got to entertain the troops though
