We had several musical outings. Once a year a selected number of us sang at the festival of the Sons of the Clergy at St Pauls & also at the Charity Childrens anniversary at the same place. The latter was a very imposing sight. All the Charity children of London came in marshalled by their respective Beadles [minor Church of England parish officer], in showy costumes & cocked hats, & were arranged tier after tier in the dome. They sang the old 100th God Save the Queen, the Coronation Anthem “Zadok the Priest & Nathan the Prophet” in which they sang the Chorus “God save the King, Long live the King” with thrilling & marvellous effect. Several of the girls dressed in high muslin caps used to be carried down fainting. |
