Jan. 21 (UPI) -- A British choir of 17 people with an average age of 94 was officially named the world's oldest choir
by Guinness World Records.
The choir, dubbed the Prime Timers, was composed of 17 members rang- ing in age from 87 to 99 years old
when they took to the stage for their Christmas concert Dec. 19.
A Guinness World Records adjudica- tor was in the audience and con- firmed after the performance that the group broke the record for the oldest choir.
The singers were all residents from seven care homes
run by Runwood Homes, which is based in Stratford- Upon-Avon.
The concert at Crowne Plaza Hotel's Grand Ballroom also fea- tured an appear- ance by singer Tony Christie, who joined the choir for performances of "Amarillo" and "Silent Night."
