St. Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge


Right after the Tower of London, we rode a tube and embarked to the station nearest to St. Paul's Cathedralthe most famous Anglican Cathedral in London.  
It witnessed many important events in the British Royal Family and Great Britain. 
It is also among the largest cathedral in United Kingdom.


We were welcomed by these lovely Victorian fountain 
at the back entrance of the Cathedral.

St. Paul's Cathedral witnessed the funeral services of Winston Churchill 
and the Jubilee Celebrations for Queen Victoria, among many others.
On July 21, 1981,  
Prince Charles also wed the young Princess Diana at St. Paul's Cathedral.

And almost twenty-nine years after,
it's now Alvin John's turn to make his own history at the Cathedral.
