🎶 Yesterday, The Duchess of Gloucester attended the Annual Friends Festival at @StPaulsLondon, which has reopened for services and sightseeing.
HRH is Patron of the Friends of @StPaulsLondon group, which supports and promotes the Cathedral’s work.
💐 Her Royal Highness met the Cathedral’s choristers, clergy and support staff to hear about their experiences of the pandemic, and how it feels to be able to sing and worship in person again.
The Duchess has been Patron of the Friends of @StPaulsLondon since 2003.

It was the last thing I needed to do. It will never be the last stage of my grief but this was the last step. I have suffered all the firsts. My first birthday without you, your birthday, first Christmas without you, first New Years without you, your funeral, and the first year without you being by my side. I have travelled to our spots where we used to talk for hours, I have been in your room, laid on your bed, smelled your sheets, been to your grave, been to our special places. And this was the last one I had been holding back on. Your bench at St Paul’s. It was so beautiful. As I arrived the church bells started going off. And as I left I turned around and the sun was shining only on the Cathedral. You were there with me. Shining your light like you did when you were here. After a while crying and reminiscing, I knew you wouldn’t want to see me like this. I smiled like me and you were taking a picture. And I told of our beautiful time together. I miss you so much. I love you. Forever and always my blue eyes.

London Walks, Millennium Bridge - Spring 18/05/2018 . The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is 4 metres (13 ft) a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City of London. It is located between Southwark Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge. The southern end of the bridge is near the Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery, and Tate Modern, while the northern end of the bridge is next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view (i.e. a "terminating vista") of St Paul's south façade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports. . #millineumbridge #london #londonwalk #spring2018 #eveningwalks #fitnesstravel #myjourney #journeytogether #travelphotography #rivercrossing #riverthames #stpaulslondon #footbridge #londonfootbridge (at Millennium Bridge, London)
Inspired by #emilyyoungsculpture near #stpaulslondon. I'm going to make a mould and cast in silver. I with then add the ruff organic texture of the hair to create another version of this design. Watch this space!
