The National Anthem …
After a minute’s silence before the Preston North End – v – Burnley match at Deepdale earlier this evening, Russell led the packed stadium in singing the National Anthem … God Save The King.
Thanks to Sky Sports for sharing the moment.

Just Recently …
For the second time since it opened, Russell graced the stage at East Lancashire’s award-winning venue, Crow Wood Hotel and Spa Resort on the edge of Burnley for what proved to be a most fantastic and varied performance of his best-loved songs.
He “tried” to make a swift exit because he was due to attend a TV recording studio the next morning but he was affectionately delayed a little!
