The event was brimming with pageantry and ceremony dating back to the 12th century. The Templars were in full regalia (complete with ceremonial swords) for a very moving service conducted by Revd Michael A. G. Bryce rector of Hartburn.
The Choral Society sang the haunting Peruvian Gloria as well as beautiful Ave Verum by Mozart.
