Award-winning singer Raye treated King Charles to a performance of Christmas songs during his visit to Apple’s London headquarters on Thursday afternoon. The monarch toured the tech giant’s HQ at the iconic Battersea Power Station with the company’s Chief Executive, Tim Cook, before heading outside to unveil a plaque and enjoy a surprise performance by Raye, whose hits include Worth It and Oscar Winning Tears . Raye seemed overwhelmed as she was introduced on stage, although she had previously met the King ahead of her performance inside the headquarters and in a more intimate setting. As she took to the stage, in front of Apple employees who had been unaware of her attendance, she bowed her head, shook his hand and said ‘hello’. The King appeared to comment on her black strapped dress and asked her if she felt the cold. “I don’t, I don’t,” she said, as she smiled and put her thumb up as they took a picture. The King then walked off stage alongside Tim Cook to listen to Raye’s set, “thank you, I hope you enjoy it,” she told the small crowd. King Charles stayed to listen to her sing her first song, as she said: “What an honour to be in the presence of His Majesty today. It’s all very scary and very fancy so it’s very amazing.” Raye’s special playlist began with an incredible rendition of Oh Holy Night , one her favourite Christmas carols. Following the end of the song, he then slipped off given the cold and rain. Raye continued her set and sang several more songs, including Jingle Bells and Cry me a River . Ahead of her performance, Apple Chief Executive Tim praised the monarch: “We are honoured to host His Majesty King Charles III at Apple Battersea....at Apple we are honoured to call this our home in the UK and we are so grateful to His Majesty for visiting us this afternoon.” He praised his “extraordinary leadership, his service to the United Kingdom and his lifelong commitment to philanthropy and the betterment of humanity.” He also praised the King’s Trust “incredible work in powering and educating and next generations and creating opportunity by teaching vital skills like coding”. The King was then invited to unveil a plaque commemorating his visit - and laughed as he got a “wolf whistle” as he did.CHEYENNE — Cheyenne’s fourth annual Nativity Blessing at the state Capitol drew its largest crowd yet Thursday, attended by state and local elected officials, a couple of religious leaders and members of the public. Gov. Mark Gordon, who has spoken at all three previous Nativity Blessings, was unable to attend this year due to a scheduling conflict. However, other public officials, including Secretary of State Chuck Gray, Cheyenne Republican lawmaker Rep. Daniel Singh and local pastor Nathan Winters offered their remarks for the roughly 30 people who sat in the Capitol rotunda. A towering Christmas tree decorated with handmade ornaments dominates the center of the room, with glittering wrapped presents sitting at its base. A wooden Nativity scene was placed in front of the tree, facing the Capitol’s main front doors, and seats were provided for guests near the entrance. The Cathedral of St. Mary’s Children’s Choir performed a few select pieces and, at the end of the event, led the audience in a rendition of “Silent Night.” This year, there was a theme of unity and hope that was inspired by the growing political divide in this country, said event organizer Steven Malia. “After all these elections, I mean, there’s just a lot of division and a lot of tension,” Malia told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. “If we can have healing and cooperation and work together, maybe we can have a more peaceful union.” Politics mixed in with the meaning of Christmas as speakers reflected on the lack of cooperation among certain politicians. One repeated message was for people to not look to the government for hope, but rather God and Jesus Christ. In his message during the ceremony, Gray said society focuses too much on the “fake power” of government, such as the Roman empire. “Look at the obsession around the ‘Gladiator’ films. I mean, we got ‘Gladiator II’ out, and there’s so much focus on it,” Gray said. “But that’s fake power.” He said the “fake power of government” is what prevents people from reaching their full potential as citizens. As the new 68th Legislature gets ready to convene in a month for the 2025 general session, he said lawmakers will face their own obstacles. But they should all remember that Jesus is the truth, Gray said. “We ask for his blessing to keep us where the light is, to bless the work in this wonderful historic building, and that it will be a beacon of your true power,” Gray said. The Rev. Seth Hostetler of the Cathedral of St. Mary said hope is fundamental to society — it equips people to pursue good when times are hard. Christmas is remembering to live with hope and to seek it in God — not in elected leaders or grand technology, he said. “The problem we face now, even among Christians, is the growing fascination with our own power. ‘God helps those who help themselves’ is not in the Bible,” Hostetler said. As society progresses with majestic buildings, advanced technologies and choosing politicians to lead the way, “we start looking to ourselves for hope,” he said. It’s important to remember this Christmas season where blessings truly come from: Jesus. “How many of us during the election season spend more time watching the news than reading our Bibles? How many of us have talked more about politicians than about Jesus Christ?” Hostetler said. Former First Baptist Church of Thermopolis Pastor Nathan Winters recalled that Jesus was born to a “blue-collar couple ... on the edges of an empire known for its cruelty.” In a world of suffering and strife, he reminded members of the public to look toward heaven. “Remember the star of Bethlehem, something larger than us all,” Winters said. “Today ... we celebrate a Christmas tree pointing our way toward home, a place where we’ll all be well if we trust in Christ.”7xm video downloader 。
