BBC Songs of Praise singer, Laura Wright joined 91 year-old piano player Denis Robinson at St. Pancras International for a Father’s Day special, to talk about their love of hymns and perform together for passers-by.

Denis has been playing the piano since he was seven and says his love of church music and the reaction he gets from playing hymns keeps him coming back.

Passers-by express their delight at listening to Denis play the piano as they pass on thanks for the joy he brings to the station every week.

Earlier this year a clip of Denis and Ceili O'Connor, star of West End musical Cats, took Twitter by storm with a heartwarming impromptu duo performance together.

St Pancras continues to be a hub for musical talent as the free-to-play pianos are enjoyed by visitors from across the globe. The station has also welcomed famous musicians including Sara Bareilles, Sir Elton John and John Legend.
