Katherine Jenkins performs live Facebook concert to entertain amid coronavirus isolation

Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins has performed a live Facebook concert for people staying at home amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The Neath-born star said she wanted to entertain people after pubs, clubs and restaurants closed indefinitely on Friday.

She also urged any children watching to "be really really good" for their parents.

Katherine opened the concert with an Italian-composed song, which she said translated means: "In my fantasy world there is a world of peace and truth and justice and honesty."

"With everything going on right now that just seems really nice," she added.
