Diocesan Readers waiting to enter the Cathedral in procession
I show here the procession of Readers waiting to enter the Cathedral for the Solemn Eucharist in thanksgiving for Bishop Edward King on Sat 6th March 2010. I managed to photograph the processions of clergy and readers but not, alas the most distinguished of the processions, that of the retired clergy ("The See gave up its Dead!) - which included two retired bishops and two Deans Emeriti along with retired canons and also-rans like me! One of the retired Deans was The Very Revd The Hon Oliver Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, Dean of Lincoln from 1969-89 and one of no less than three surviving Lincoln Deans Emeriti! (The Very Revd Dr Brandon Jackson did not attend the event!)
