SOUL DIVA THRILLS AIRSHOW FANS
SOUL DIVA Alexandra Burke thrilled thousands of fans as she took to the concert stage at the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
The X Factor winner performed a selection of her hits including Broken Heels, Don't Start Without Me and Hallelujah, and also performed songs from her album Overcome.
As the Saudi Hawks aerobatics display team were making their UK debut in the skies above RAF Fairford, the concert stage atmosphere built up with fans chanting her name.
Before the show, the 22-year-old singer said: "I'm really looking forward to performing at the airshow, particularly as it's being held in support the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust. I've been flying high ever since my tour – so starring at an airshow makes perfect sense!"
Sharon Mann, from Colne in Wiltshire, said: "I'm really looking forward to seeing Alexandra: it's one of the reasons I bought tickets for today's show. And I'm looking forward to seeing the Red Arrows and Typhoon later on too."
Keelie, Ellie and Sarah Armstrong from Hereford said: "We're looking forward to seeing her performing Broken Heels and it's the reason why we came to the airshow today. I left my husband watching the aircraft!"
After the 40-minute set, the singer stayed for a Meet and Greet session with competition winners.
Sophie Bulstrode from Cambridgeshire said: "She seemed wowed by the number of people in the crowd, but her show was amazing!"
