Coventry Cathedral logo

Coventry Cathedral will be hosting an online service to reflect on the events of 80 years ago. The service not only commemorates the terrible and tragic events that took place on that fateful night but will also take the opportunity to celebrate the peace, justice and reconciliation which Coventry’s city and cathedral continue to stand for today. The Coventry Peace Bell, presented to the late Queen Mother by the President of Germany as a gift from the German nation at a service of Reconciliation held on 14 November 1940, will be sounded.

The service will also include a half-hour documentary on the bombing put together by the Lord Mayor’s Peace Committee, as well as contributions from the Lord Mayor, the Lord-Lieutenant of West Midlands, the Bishop, the Dean, Community of the Cross of Nails Partners from around the world, and the Cathedral Choir.

This will be broadcast on Coventry Cathedral’s Facebook page.

It will also be made available earlier in the day on the Cathedral’s YouTube channel.  The text of the service will be available to download from the Cathedral website. An audio version will be made available via the Cathedral’s telephone service on Saturday: 024 7693 9700.
