Classic FM Breakfast with Dan Walker 6:30am - 9am
Tim Lihoreau's come up with a festive yet fiendish quiz for you...
As Classic FM's 25th Anniversary Year comes to a close, our very own Tim Lihoreau has drawn up a celebrity orchestra – one player for each year since Classic FM first graced the airwaves.
But who are these mystery players? Fortunately, Tim's left you with some clues... See the image below, and find the clues below that (oh, and because it's Christmas, there's no 'L').
