A celebratory fanfare, written by Westbury 13-year-old Lydia Shephard, will welcome the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh to Wiltshire’s Diamond Jubilee event on Tuesday.

Lydia, of Chalford, won a competition run by the Wiltshire Music Service, with her piece Solero, inspired by both Maurice Ravel’s Bolero and the sun rising behind Stonehenge.

The royal welcome composed by the young violinist, who suffers from scoliosis, will be performed by the brass section of the Wiltshire and Swindon Youth Orchestra in Salisbury Cathedral.

She said: "I am really pleased to have won the competition and it is a great honour that my piece has been chosen to welcome the Queen.

"It took me about a week to write. I have just started writing pieces of music and I would like to do it when I am older.

"I am also playing folk songs by Vaughan Williams for her, with the orchestra, and I get to meet her afterwards, which is really exciting."
