I remember how good it felt to be part of that. <br />The one thing I miss about not being part of a religion is the singing and joining with others to raise our voices in beautiful music.

I find it overwhelmingly impressive every time. The Lady Chapel is enormous for a 'side chapel'. There is, however, a ridiculous (modern) sculpture of Mary with her arms raised high, which can be just made out at the back behind the choir.

Our son was a choirboy from the age of seven and he sang in many of the UK's cathedrals including Ely and Westminster Abbey and was told to try for St Pauls choir but, he didn't want to!!! He did go on to work in the music industry though !
