Where there's a will there is a budding way - to be a chorister. But in William Morfitt's case, it's not an Anthony.

At eight months he is the youngest member of the chair at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Dyke Road and, under the guidance of his musically-talented mother, Hillary, will probably learn his doh ray me before his ABC.

It is not surprising the congregation raises a smile as he processes down the aisle in his mum's arms, the other holding the hymn book. "Let us pray. I said pray, not play, William."
