Welsh singer songwriter and BBC Radio Wales presenter, Bronwen Lewis, has shared a touching live version of O Holy Night performed alongside her father and grandfather.

Taking to Instagram, Bronwen wrote: “Singing around the piano is a bit of a Christmas tradition in our family. Here I am with my Dad and Grandad a few years back singing O Holy Night together.

“So glad we captured this! Nadolig Llawen / Merry Christmas from our family to yours.”

The reception was overwhelmingly positive, with Soulswimmer writing: “Breathtaking! The way you all exchange glances and blend together so well is just so beautiful.”

Another wrote: “Hyfryd iawn! What a beautiful version of one of my all-time favourites!”
