A University of Plymouth student has written a song to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Entitled Memories of You, psychology student Christopher Bevan's tune has been inspired by family members' stories of their military experience over the years, the Western Morning News reports.<\/p>\n
Mr Bevan observed the point of the track is to make the public aware "that there are thousands of people willing to give their lives for something they believe in".<\/p>\n
Soprano Lucy Watmough – who also happens to be a friend of his – has recorded the song and it is set to be performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Proms Concert.<\/p>\n
The tune has also received the royal seal of approval, after the Duke of Edinburgh said he was a fan of it.<\/p>\n
All of the money collected from the sale of the track will be given to the military charity as it seeks to build a number of recovery centres.<\/p>\n
