Proclamation

I went to the proclamation with my quite elderly neighbour, who I don't think would have gone to this otherwise. I'm fond of her in any event. She was immaculately turned out as usual, and introduced me to the many people that she has known for a long time including the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire.

Proclamation
The Proclamation of the Accession of The King following the death of The Queen was read, just outside the west window pictured. Firstly by the Deputy Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire representing our monarch; then a similar proclamation was read out by a town councillor on behalf of The High Sheriff of Nottingham (I think).

The choir sung a hymn, we all sang God Save The King, then we all gave King Charles three cheers. We stumbled on the first cheer with the quire organ at the end of the church starting to play at the same time.

Those that wished to followed the choir (whilst singing) in procession through the rarely opened west door, through to the quire at the other end of the church.

Evensong 
The tiered bench area plus that whole end of the church was filled with people. There was extra clergy and additional ceremony compared to usual evensong, a "collect (ie structured prayer) for the accession of the king" was read out and we sang the national anthem again.

--Chorister Promotions
By chance it was also the planned ceremony for announcing the head chorister, deputy head, and senior chorister/s. More formal again than usual, each was presented with their tippets (velvety shawls). All were female - a sign of the times.
