The service takes place on Maundy Thursday in recognition of the service of elderly people to their church and community. The selection is co-ordinated by the Church of England diocese.
You may be wondering where the word 'Maundy' comes from? Well, it is the command or 'mandatum' by Christ at the Last Supper, to love one another.
