Weekend in London July 2008

A weekend visit to London with my very good friend, John.
We went to see Candide at the London Coliseum (English National Opera)
and we also attended the morning service in the Royal Hospital Chapel
on Sunday which was followed by a reception in the Royal Apartments
which are not normally open to the public. Many years ago I used to
sing in the Chapel choir.
The Hospital was founded in 1692 by Charles 11 for the 'succour and
relief of veterans broken by age and war'. The Chapel is a rare example
of Wren's purely ecclesiastical work with original wainscotting, pews and plasterwork.
