Listeners are to hear for the first time the Lunch-Hour Service for City workers that is held regularly in one of the most historic churches in the City of London. The original church was built in 1180. In 1666 it was destroyed in the Great Fire. The new church was one of the first to be rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after that date and was then adopted by the Lord Mayor and Corporation. Annually they come in procession from the Guildhall to attend a service in state there before proceeding to elect a new Lord Mayor. The service has been held continuously in St. Lawrence Jewry for nearly 300 years.
On November 9 the bellringers pealed the bells to send the new Lord Mayor, Sir Harry Twyford , on his triumphal procession through the streets of London. The Rector, the Rev. A. Lombardini , who conducts today's broadcast service, rode in the Lord Mayor's coach as Lord Mayor's Chaplain.
