| Description: | “Westminster Cathedral. Hosanna! Traditional ceremony of the Blessing of the Palms ushers in the Church’s greatest festival of the year." Westminster Cathedral, London. People - both clergy and congregation - gather outside Westminster Roman Catholic Cathedral. They stand with palm leaves and sing a Latin hymn. The doors of the Cathedral are opened and the clergy lead the congregation into the building. As the camera pans across the congregation, a man struggles to climb one of the outer walls of the cathedral to get a better look, but giving a rather funny look at him. In a reverse shot, cameramen are visible photographing the ceremony from the opposite side. | |
