She led the crowd in a rendition of God Save The Queen before Barnsley and Oxford United battled it out.

This was the sixth time the Kettering singer has performed at Wembley.

Past performances at the stadium, which has a 90,000 capacity, include singing before the start of the FA Cup finals in 2009 and 2010 and at last year’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final between Bristol City and Walsall.

She also sang the National Anthem before last year’s Community Shield match between Arsenal and Chelsea.

Faryl, who Simon Cowell described as ‘literally one in a million’ when she was on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, has also sung for Royalty, dueted with Russell Watson and met a host of celebrities while performing at venues and events across the country.
