Fans of the film will gather to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the release of its soundtrack.

The Sound of Music album was produced and distributed by Decca Records in New Malden in 1965.

It topped the UK album charts for 70 weeks in total between 1965 and 1968.

When Edward Lewis founded Decca Records in 1929 he acquired the Duophone Record Company, and with it its premises on Burlington Road.

This was to become the only Decca pressing plant in the UK and a major local employer, hiring hundreds from Kingston and the surrounding boroughs at any one time.

Of the records pressed here in New Malden – at peak production up to 60,000 a day – many can now be found dispersed all over the world.

It all starts at 1.30pm.
