Patients waiting for appointments at a hospital clinic enjoyed a bit of light entertainment this week.
A 20-strong choir sang six songs at the neurology outpatients clinic at Leicester General Hospital on Tuesday.
The choir is made up of people suffering from Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disorder of the nervous system.
It was formed last year by Karen Gavin, of Western Park, Leicester. The 53-year-old was diagnosed with Parkinson's 19 years ago.
She said: "I have been singing for many years and know how wonderful it has been.
"The physical benefits for breathing, voice control and projecting your voice are a real help to people with Parkinson's."
The choir meets every Friday.
Karen said: "We cover all sorts of music and decided a performance at the neurology outpatients' department at the General hospital would be a good way of marking national Parkinson's Awareness Week.
"It is the clinic where a lot of members go."
