ACTRESS Joanna Lumley yesterday announced a Valentine's Day treat of opera and ballet dedicated exclusively to Tickets for Troops.
The Royal Opera House is the first theatre to donate an entire auditorium to the charity, which gives free tickets to our heroes.
Joanna, 63, said: "I am thrilled to host this most special event at such an iconic venue.
"It is a fantastic opportunity for those who put their lives on the line for us."
In the afternoon show military families will be able to dress up in costumes, try instruments and learn from the ROH crew about how shows are staged.
An evening performance follows featuring excerpts from La bohème and Tales of Beatrix Potter danced by The Royal Ballet.
Tickets will be available at ticketsfortroops.org.uk
GURKHA veterans lost a High Court test case with the Ministry of Defence over pensions yesterday.
They will appeal the decision in their battle to get the same rights as UK comrades for around 25,000 Nepalese troops who retired before July 1997.
