Crowds, the like of which have never previously been seen at the .'Christchurch Cathedral, assembled there on Sunday to hear the address of the Bishop of London, but between 2000 and 3000 peoule had to be excluded from the service on account of the lack of accommodation. Queues began to assemble outside the doors of the cathedral shortly after 5 o’clock, and by 6.30 the numbers had swelled tremendously. Many who had waited for over an hour were unable to gain admittance when the doors of the building closed at 6.45, 15 minutes before the service was timed to commence. Every available seat in the Cathedral was- occupied, and the service was broadcast, receivers being installed in many of'the suburban and country churches.
