Palm Sunday Celebrations
Palms and fanfare ahead of Easter - a salient event in the Christian calendar is captured with crisp clarity.
Overview
On the Sunday before Easter, the church celebrates Jesus' journey into Jerusalem. The Archbishop of Westminster, Francis Bourne, can be seen conducting the blessing here, with officials and choir boys following via the west door of Westminster Cathedral. The on-looking scouts ease the formality slightly, and if you look closely you will see another camera in shot - blink and you'll miss it.
