Thursday, 5th April 2007
The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will be present at the Maundy Service in Manchester Cathedral. Her Majesty will distribute the Royal Maundy during the Service.
Avalon said:It will take place in the Manchester Cathedral as per the Royal Diary.
I did a search on Gettyimages for previous Maundy Thursday pictures and learned that George V was the first monarch since James II to personally give out Maundy Thursday coins himself. I wonder how it was done in the years between James II and George V.
So how much money is in the little purse?
The leaders of the four main churches in Ireland - including Catholic Cardinal Sean Brady - came together at St Patrick's Church of Ireland Cathedral in Armagh, Ireland's ecclesiastical capital, to watch Her Majesty distribute Maundy Money at the traditional pre-Easter religious service.
It was the first time that the historical service, which dates back more than seven centuries, had taken place outside England or Wales.
It is understood that the Queen expressed a wish that it should take place in Northern Ireland and that it should be an inter-denominational event.

I wasn't bothered about the security as The Queen's safety is of the utmost importance at all times and one would have felt dreadful if anything had of happened to Her Majesty.
