Its a match made in heaven. David Cameron could make his chart debut after recording a track for a new album alongside EastEnders star Danny Dyer. Yes, really. The PM has recited Rupert Brookes poem The Soldier for the official First World War centenary album, while the Eastenders star reads In Memoriam by Ewart Alan Mackintosh. The album also includes contributions from Stephen Fry, Radio 4s Today presenter James Naughtie and Game Of Thrones actor Sean Bean. Cameron recorded his performance inside his home at 10 Downing Street in London, including one of the most famous lines from the war poets: If I should die, think only this of me - that theres some corner of a foreign field that is forever England. Comic actor John Thomson recites Owens Dulce Et Decorum Est and Sarah Millican reads Amy Lowells sonnet From One Who Stays, and there are wordless performances of Abide With Me and I Vow to Thee, My Country. The album is a truly unique and painstaking collaboration according to Royal British Legion Director of Fundraising Charles Byrne.
