It was, I think, at Westminster Cathedral that I encountered the Order of the Holy Sepulchre: it was the mantillas that did it for me. The knights and dames of the order process in churches on solemn feasts and the spectacle of them in their white and black cloaks, emblazoned with the cross of Jerusalem in red, and the dames with their black lace mantillas, was quite captivating. There are very few occasions for dressing up in modern life and this order, with its dress recalling the medieval chivalric order on which it is based, was a splendid, stirring presence in procession.
