PERFORM FOR THE QUEEN

I just found out that three of the young men in the group Diversity that won the Britain's Got Talent Contest are offsprings of a British dad and a Malaysian mum. They are Jamie (3), Ian (4)and Matthew (9) McNaughton. Their dad is Stewart, 63, a former hospital manager, and thjeir mum is Malaysian-born nurse Chandravathani.

Here is some information about all the boys in the group as I think that they are all fine young men who have earned them the right to perform before HRH Queen Elizabeth II of England during the Royal Variety Performance later in the year.

1. IKE EZEKWUGO, from Leytonstone, East London. Nigerian-born Ike is due to graduate in human resources management next week.
2. SAM CRASKE, 19, from Dagenham, Essex. Lives with mother Jennifer, father Paul, brother Mitchell and younger sister Ellie, ten. Sam is understood to have been made redundant from his job as a bathroom fitter a few weeks ago.
3. JAMIE McNAUGHTON, 23, from Basildon, Essex. Telesales operator selling timeshare holiday homes. Like his brother, Jamie aimed for a 'sensible' job, not believing that he would ever achieve showbusiness success.
4. IAN McNAUGHTON, 25, from Basildon. Works in IT solutions for a City law firm. The son of Stewart, 63, a former hospital manager, and Malaysian-born nurse Chandravathani, Ian began dancing at the age of eight. He and his two brothers have performed their urban street dance at shopping centres across Essex, London and Kent.
5. ASHLEY BANJO, 20, from Wickford, Essex. Diversity's choreographer. Achieved two As and two Bs at A-level biology, chemistry, physics and maths at Seevic College in Thundersley, Essex. Now studying Natural Sciences at Queen Mary College. Teaches at his mother's dance studio, Danceworks, where the group formed.
6. WARREN RUSSELL, 18, from Dagenham. Telecoms engineer living in a former council house with mother Sonia, older brother Scott, and younger brother Ashton, 15, who is playing a young Michael Jackson in a West End theatre production.
7. TERRY SMITH, 24, from Rainham, Kent. Lives in a mid-terrace house with his 46-year-old father Paul, a plumber, mother Josie, 46, and sister Danielle, 21. Has a year left of a computer technology degree at a university in Kent.
8. JORDAN BANJO, 16, from Wickford. Studying for his GCSEs and also teaches dance. Diversity was said to have formed after the death from cancer of Sylvie, the much-loved Danceworks studio's administrator who was like a 'grandmother' to many of the troupe's members.
9. MATTHEW McNAUGHTON, 16, from Basildon. Studying Music Technology at college. The only McNaughton brother who specifically wanted a career in music.
10. PERRI KIELY, 13, from South Ockenden, Essex. Lives with parents Russ, a builder, and Christine, who used to teach majorettes in a small terrace house. The pupil at Gable Hall School, Thurrock, is best known for his extravagant Afro hair. He has two sisters, Star, 10, and Elvie, 7, who are also talented dancers.
11. MITCHELL CRASKE, 13, from Dagenham. Still at school. With Perry, the joint-youngest member of the group. Dressed as Superman for the finale of Britain's Got Talent and was hurled through the air during the dance routines. The skilled breakdancer can spin on his head. In the semi-final routine, he sprung out of a holdall.
