Watch: It’s the leaving of Winchester

Watch: It’s the leaving of Winchester

A correspondent writes:

Huge applause for Andrew Lumsden (and Claudia Grinnell) at the conclusion of this afternoon’s ’farewell’ evensong. Congregation of hundreds; wonderful singing – the most musical congregation I’ve ever had the privilege to be a part of.
Andrew directed the choir and played us out magnificently through the last hymn and voluntary. Extraordinarily positive congregation celebrating 22 years of his first-class direction and music-making.
