The pair then head to Sparsholt Cricket Club for a pint and a chat with Major General Alastair Bruce of Crionaich OBE VR DL, a royal, constitutional and religious commentator for Sky News. They discuss the good humoured and kind qualities of Her Majesty the Queen, as well as plans for the bank holiday weekend.
The episode ends with a musical treat, ‘Zadok the Priest’, performed by The Winchester Cathedral Choir.
For centuries the pew has been used as a seating area for audiences to receive important messages as well as a place to sit and simply reflect on one’s own.
From time-to-time quiet whispers can be heard across the pews, reuniting with familiar faces, or greeting those who aren’t.
