In line with Covid-19 regulations, only a maximum of 30 people were allowed to attend Doorkins Memorial service on Wednesday.
Andrew Nunn, the dean, told the congregation. “In more normal times, we often host memorial services for the great and the good. But I don’t think there’s ever been a service for a cat.”
