Archbishop Vincent Nichols - Installation Diary

Rehearsal Day

19 May 2009
Westminster Cathedral

Tuesday was the day the BBC moved into the Cathedral! This afternoon has seen cameras and lighting installed, and seemingly endless snakes of cables. This post is shorter than usual, however there are more photos than usual, which we hope makes up for the shortage of words. We feature the Archbishop's Crozier in today's photo gallery - this will be passed from Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor to Archbishop Vincent Nichols during the Mass of Installation. It forms part of Westminster Cathedral's Cardinal Howard Plate - an Italian silver-gilt service of ecclesiastical plate, formerly the property of Cardinal Edward Howard and presented for the then future Cathedral of Westminster on 10 November 1893. One note of advice for anyone planning on attending the Service of Vespers tomorrow is that the Victoria Line may be closed, so if you were planning to get to Victoria by the Victoria Line, you may need to make alternative arrangements.
