Men in Scarlet Album
Seven Chelsea Pensioners at the Royal Hospital Chelsea released an album on 8 November 2010 in order to raise money for the Chelsea Pensioners' Appeal. Featuring Dame Vera Lynn, Katherine Jenkins, The Soldiers, and Janey Cutler, the album is full of well known wartime songs and includes their traditional march, "The Old Brigade". The Chelsea Pensioners' Appeal is currently trying to raise £30 million for the refurbishment of the Chelsea Pensioners' living accommodation. On 13 December on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, it was announced that the album had sold 100,000 copies.

All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices
Of linen, go the chanting choristers,
The priests in gold and black, the villagers. . . .”
