[ Southwark Cathedral floodlighting ]

"I am going to ask you to do what you have always
wanted to do: turn your back on a politician" said
Culture Secretary Chris Smith as he invited the crowd
outside Southwark Cathedral to stop listening at him
and watch the building slowly light up. The Cabinet
Minister was speaking last Sunday to members of the
Advent Carol Service congregation who had gone outside
for the switch on of lights. Also present were Timothy
West and his wife Prunella Scales and Millennium
Commission member Lady Howe.

mass-participation experiment. The event runs between
