A Catholic service has been celebrated in the Chapel Royal in Hampton Court Palace in London for the first time in 450 years.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster hosted the service of Vespers, largely conducted in Latin and attended by 300 people.
The service featured choral music from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The cardinal entered the chapel walking a few steps behind Bishop Richard Chartres, the Anglican bishop of London and dean of the royal chapels.
The cardinal and the bishop held a public discussion on the relationship between the churches and the crown and the role of Christianity in society
Bishop Chartres then preached a homily, in which he stated that church unity would be built “as we look together at the problems facing humanity rather than looking at the differences between us”.
