York Minster pulls out all the stops – The Yorkshire Post says
Work which is integral to the repair and restoration of ancient buildings so they can continue to be cherished and celebrated, such specialist skills are priceless and their importance to the fabric of the nation should not be downplayed.

By then, let’s hope York – and the rest of the country – is in a position to return to Yorkshire’s greatest landmark and hear the organ played with the pomp and panache that is associated with the Minster.
Now that will be cause for genuine celebration.
