You may have read before but I am a member of the Womens' Institute and this year we are celebrating our centenary. It originated in Canada and our first Institute began in Llanfair, Wales. Many events have been taking place all over the country. The AGM was attended by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II along with other royal family members. The baton travelled around the country preceding the AGM allowing it to touch every institute in the country. It arrived to us in June 2014,

Lincolnshire being no different had a celebration service in Lincolnshire Cathedral yesterday.Now I have been to visit the Cathedral but have never took part in a service there. There must have been about 250 members from all over the county.


A reading from the New Testament was read by the President of the Lincoln WI. My favourite piece sung by the Cathedral Choir was the Magnificat (The Song for Mary). At the end of the service we all sung 'Jerusalem' and my spine tingled with all these people singing together in this beautiful building with such wonderful acoustics.
