The historic Grade 1 listed building reopening continues with its annual Consecration Service at 10:30 am and then will welcome visitors after 12 noon.
While the building has remained closed, behind the scenes there has a flurry of activity as staff and volunteers prepare the Cathedral to reopen its doors and welcome people back safely for worship and visiting.
Today we're at the UK's largest cathedral, the Grade 1 listed @LivCathedral as it begins its reopening process. It's been sad to see this and so many of our attractions closed for this long. What a building! ?
