Feast of St Edmund, 20th NovemberTo celebrate this day, our patronal festival, we are sharing the recording of the Festive Service for the 140th Anniversary of the completion of St Edmund's, held on 30th June 2024. This includes music from the St Edmund's choir together with the Choral Scholars of St Martin-in-the-Fields. Bishop Kari Veiteberg, Bishop of Oslo, was the preacher. We are grateful to all involved in the service, and to Andrew Earis for the recording.

We shall remember them
St Edmund's choir and Senior Chaplain were invited to take part in a service of thanksgiving at Sylling Church for 80 years of peace in Norway since the end of World War II. The service also commemorated the British and Commonwealth airmen who lost their lives on 9th April 1940, the first day of the wartime occupation in Norway, when their Sunderland flying boat was shot down over the nearby forest.
