It came on the same day as Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50, triggering the two-year countdown to Brexit.

The group, with members from the likes of Alnwick, Morpeth and Swarland, gathered at the Market Cross at noon to sing in a mix of languages, including Basque, German and Spanish.

Spokeswoman for the Angels, Bridget Gubbins, from Morpeth, said: “We sang to cheer ourselves up as Theresa May issued Article 50.”
