This cathedral is one of the Glories of England! Thank you for posting this Midnight Mass. Do check out the late Jesse Norman's 'CHRISTMASTIDE' service from the same Cathedral.

This was the last Christmas Eve service broadcast by Thames TV before its final shutdown a week later.

Marvelous Christmas songs. The choir was fantastic. The altar century was great. Wonderful Christmas mass. Thanks God for the musicans. Merry Christmas to you all 🎄🎄🎄

How wonderful. Thanks be to God for KZbin! So nice to see and hear Paul and his choir. Paul was just joining Leeds Parish Church choir in my final year as Head Chorister. Even then, it was obvious he would rise to become a great musician. Congratulations, Paul!

Christmas 1992 was the very last Christmas for Thames Television, who lost their ITV franchise in the 1991 ITV franchise auction. From 1st January 1993 Carlton Television took over the London weekday franchise.

Qué significa que algunos niños usan una medalla, lo he visto en varias ocasiones. Desde ya muchas gracias.

Mass? The word is Communion in England, thank you. And incense? Where are we? Rome? Good grief! That apart, lovely service and good singing. I haven't heard this Schubert very often. Many thanks!

The Church of England has a wide range of styles and Churchmanship. Most, if not all, English Cathedrals worship in the High Church - Anglo-Catholic tradition.
