FA Cup final anthem singer apologises for forgetting to sing

London - The singer chosen to sing the British national anthem prior to Saturday's FA Cup final issued an apology after missing the opening part of the song.

Karen Harding, 24, missed her cue as the band struck up 'God Save the Queen' on the pitch prior to the match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United at London's Wembley Stadium.

She eventually joined in towards the end of the anthem, and afterwards took to Twitter to apologise.
