The traditions here at St Dunstan’s are ageless and will go on to eternity. The congregation is bold and are taking that Easter message on to the streets. The donkey is part the Christian scene, its support team has to be thanked for a good donkey turnout on the day. Keep going happy church you are doing fine. Poet John PS Keep the Whitechapel Bell Foundry survival flag flying it needs all the support it can get from us. It also has to be saved for eternity

Curate Morgan looks quite a bit like Sir Elton. I bet he gets a lot of “double takes” as he is leading the procession.

Takes me right back to when I participated in my own parish’s processions, though it’s a sign of how things have changed, even in my lifetime, that the crowds that once lined the routes have gone. The Churches of Sleeping In or B&Q have the flocks these days.

And George and Dunstan are beautiful!
