This is the heartwarming moment a flash mob of rail staff and volunteer singers from across the country spread a little festive cheer with a choral version of Lean On Me.

The event, organised by the charity Railway Children and sponsored by Southeastern, saw the choral flash mob stun commuters at London Bridge Station  by bursting into the Bill Withers classic during the afternoon rush hour on December 11.

Footage shows the startled commuters stop in their tracks as the harmonies echo across the station and take everyone by surprise.

As music begins to play, rail staff begin singing and forming into a group near the arrival and departure boards 

Soon more staff and volunteers begin to join in, leaving commuters and passers-by startled

As the music begins to play inside the busy station, rail staff are seen singing and coming together.

Soon more members of staff appear to join in and within a matter of seconds a mass congregation of singers take centre stage inside the busy city station.

The flash mob, led by music producer and choir director of Britain’s Got Talent’s Missing People Choir, James Hawkins, staged their musical spectacle every 15 minutes during the afternoon rush hour. 

Organised by The Railway Children, the charity helps to provide vulnerable children across the UK, India and East Africa, who are forced to leave their homes, with protection and opportunity.

David Statham, Managing Director of Southeastern told Rail Business Daily: 'We are delighted to support Railway Children. 

'As a rail provider we have a duty to recognise vulnerable people, who might be using our stations for shelter. 

'People often find it hard to believe that there are children in the UK sleeping rough, but we hope yesterday’s event has helped create a greater awareness of the issue.'  

Since it was posted online, the video has received more than 4,000 views on its Facebook page. 

One user, Monika Hughes, commented: 'Brilliant! Finally something positive! Love it.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
