Reflections & momentos from David’s autumn 2022 visit to South Korea
Mon 19 Sep 2022, Day 7/61. Very special to be able to watch the funeral live on the other side of the world. A little surprising though that I had to switch away from the BBC to Sky News.

Fri 16 Sep 2022, Day 4/61. I thought I’d escaped jet lag, but perhaps because I was doing very little. Today I had a detailed planning meeting for Sunday’s service, a walk-through in the Cathedral & a meeting with the Bishop. I now know I have jet lag!
Fri 16 Sep 2022, Day 4/61. Hugely honoured to be invited by the Bishop of Seoul to lead Sunday’s Service of Remembrance for the Queen in Seoul Cathedral. With the participation of Ambassadors of the UK, Australia, Canada & New Zealand and the presence of other ambassadors, including the US.
