There were reports that many of them felt privileged to be able to perform in the Royal Albert Hall as it was a once in a life history experience. Tiana compete 4 individual solos, including two that she had written herself.Amongst the musical pieces, poems were read many people spoke of their experiences, 23 year old Sara West told us of her story I was 20 when I fell pregnant, it was a mixture of excitement and worry as I was young but I knew I wanted to keep my baby, I had a supportive partner and finished my degree at university. When I miscarried at 10 weeks, I was heartbroken. Words cannot describe how hard it is to lose something so precious. Many people do not understand it and are insensitive towards the subject, but coming here tonight do me realise I am not the only one that felt this way, and there is support out there for me. I am pleased to have helped The Miscarriage Association, and thankful to Tiana for putting so much work into this event.The audience was surprised by the appearance of James Gallway, a famous flautist.

It is comforting to know that I have helped other grieving mothers, I hope to organise something similar in the near future. I would like to thank all the flautists for combat-ready and everyone who donated money to the charity.
