On Sunday the Cathedral was packed to capacity for the evening service which replaced the traditional Evensong. Instead, hundreds filled the pews for the later Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which featured the full Male Voice Choir and Boy Choristers.

On Monday evening was the Emergency Services Carol Service, which is always very widely attended.
