"However, it’s still worth remembering that things have changed, and roads into town, the car parks, and the shops, may be very busy."

"But remember they've got to get the second."

Canon Chancellor, the Rev Dr Kevin Walton, said: "Through live streaming our service and other activities, we will be able to reach out more widely across the country and indeed the world, to celebrate the significance of St Alban."
