Royalty visits Guildford Cathedral in Surrey
Published 23rd Nov 2011
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh visted Guildford Cathedral and East Surrey College in Redhill on the 18th November to celebrate the Cathedral’s 50th anniversary Service of Thanksgiving.
The event was a recreation of the visit the Queen made upon the cathedral’s consecration on Stag Hill
in 1961.
The Very Revd Victor Stock, Dean of Guildford, said it was “splendid” that the royal couple attended the celebrations.
The royal couple met with various community groups upon their visit including 150 singers made up from local primary schools and the cathedral’s choristers. Our own Student’s Union president was among these.
The Queen and Prince Philip also met with groups of staff and students at East Surrey College whereupon they were taken on a tour of the facility before ending their royal visit with the unveiling of a plaque to celebrate the event.
During their visit, the royal couple paid trips to the Adult Education Room, Media Studio and Training Salon, as well as the Technology, Brick and Vehicle workshops.
