A MEMBER of staff was busy entertaining Bracknell residents at Waitrose, singing pop covers to queuing shoppers today.

Louise Crawford, 29, usually works behind the welcome desk of the Bracknell branch, however today took on a far different role, entertaining customers in the car park whilst they waited to enter.

Ms Crawford spoke about how she had previously sang at various events, from hotels abroad to cruise ships.

She said: "I felt overwhelmed. When my managers asked me to sing, I thought they were joking at first!

"It went down really well. One customer even gave me a bunch of flowers, which was the sweetest thing ever."

Ms Crawford's performance was shared via a live feed on Facebook.
