05 Aug 14. The UK’s oldest military charity SSAFA (formerly known as Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association) is on Sunday 10 August launching a new recording of the hit marching song ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’, with the support of the composer’s grandson and the Military Wives Choirs. Members of the choir, which is a subsidiary charity of SSAFA, will lead the public and a host of veterans, serving personnel and young cadets in a rousing rendition of the song in front of London’s Tower Bridge today. They also star in a new video of the song, which the charity hopes will become a viral sensation and work its way back into the hearts and minds of the public in the same way it did during World War One. SSAFA, which was the only national military charity in existence when war was declared in 1914, has been able to record the song thanks to the blessing of Aubrey Powell, the original composer’s grandson. Aubrey will join the choir and also stars in the film, alongside a host of veterans, serving personnel and those who have benefited from SSAFA’s support, as well as the Ghurkas and famous faces, including Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Alan Titchmarsh, former soldier and X Factor contestant Jonjo Kerr and vocal group Blake.
