Framed Prints From Memory Lane
Framed Print of Coventry Cathedral was visited by thousands of people on VE Day
Coventry Cathedral was visited by thousands of people on VE Day, and services conducted by the Provost(the Very Rev. R. T. Howard) and the Bishop of Coventry (Dr Neville Gorton) did not end until after midnight. The lighting around sanctuary, with the rest of the cathedral remaining in darkness, had an extremely impressive effect and heightened the significance of the occassion. Four services had been arranged for the day but such were the crowds that attended that supplementary services were held in the evening. The Cathedral remained open all night. Many people who had relatives in the war brought bunches of flowers and placed them in vases. This brought beauty to the tumbled masonry of the cathedral. Many names were also put into the bowl that stands on the alter in close proximity to the cross of nails and the charred cross that stands in the santuary.
