Yesterday evening we went to Lichfield cathedral which is a very fine medieval cathedral and is unusual in the UK as having 3 spires and has many fine features. For the Christmas season on a ticketed basis you can go and enjoy the cathedral illuminated. Outside there are 2 light shows one of which is projected on the magnificent twin towered front and this both showed various Christmas themes and also picked out many of the fine statues and sculptures. Inside a more reflective atmosphere with some readings, a chorister and some fantastic lighting and decorations generally. One of the decorated areas, the chapter house with its fine vaulted ceilings was decorated with lots of stars and was again lit in such a way as to really capture the calm reflective nature of this fine building. In the approaching passageway were more stars cascading down and some of these had messages on. We weren’t particularly reading these but part way along one particular star caught my eye.

It simply said Preston North End forever

Nice work somebody!

Unless you count Kernow as a different country?

You should have got a piccie Tony and posted it on here ............
 
Apart from Peter Lichfield the only other Preston player I can think of to have had a cathedral named after him is Clarke Carlisle. Oh, and Nathan Peel.
 
So you haven't visited the Moilanen cathedral in Finland? Apparently very tall spire but the cross has been dropped...
