Today we had the honour of welcoming ‘King Henry VIII’ at Exeter Cathedral. ‘King Henry’ processed from Exeter Guildhall with his entourage towards the Cathedral and was greeted with ceremonial Tudor music performed by Exeter University Chapel Choir, and His Majesty’s Sagbutts and Cornetts. The visit was part of Historic Royal Palaces’ ‘Henry VIII on Tour’.
