Canterbury Cathedral Justice Service

There is one thing for sure about Britain, and that is that we do pomp and ceremony really well. Watching the procession of Barristers, Judges, Bishops, Priests, Mayors, Lord Warden and High Sheriff was stunning and yet strangely scary. A judge with a black cap surely is a memorable vision that harks back to darker times.

Sadly, the sound system in Canterbury Cathedral was having problems and so the words from the Dean were mostly missed by the assembled people. It won't be difficult to remember the scene with so many men in wigs and knee breeches and ladies with hats.
