After receiving her award, she was invited to attend the Princess of Wales' carol concert at Christmas.

The musician is best known for his choral compositions, including Christmas carols, anthems and extended works such as the Gloria, the Requiem and the Magnificat.

Since the end of her treatment she has gradually returned to more public events, including Remembrance Sunday and her Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey, which were seen as positive signs of her recovery.

Archaeologist Helen Geake works in Norfolk - the treasure finds capital of the UK - and often thinks of the Twelve Days of Christmas carol in her work.
