On Remembrance Sunday, 2020, at 11.00 hrs. Poppy Petals fell from the ceiling of the Nave as The Last Post was played from The South Transept.

A silent vigil was held as an Act of Remembrance by all who were present in the Cathedral for individual Prayer and Reflection.

On Armistice Day, 2020, a similar Act of Remembrance took place at 11.00 hrs, culminating in a moving performance of Elgar's “Nimrod”, given by the Assistant Director of Music, Alexander Hamilton.

The Great West Doors of the Cathedral were opened, and members of the public were free to enter and observe a two-minute silence.

“At the going down of the Sun,

And in the Morning,

We will remember them.”
