Katherine Henderson in Alexandra Palace, London - November, the 1950's
from Had I But Known, page 54:
[The author reflects generally about regular outings in London during her working life in the 1950s]
On Armistice Sunday, we always went to the Alexandra Palace to the Armistice service, and this was a real treat. The Palace was packed to capacity, and the great organ literally vibrated the air with everyone singing. It was a wonderful experience and one I looked forward to year after year.
