Valencia's flood victims remembered in London during Requiem Mass at St James’s, Spanish Place

Victims of Valencia’s terrible floods were remembered at a Requiem Mass held at St James’s, Spanish Place Church in London, with embassy officials and members of the local Spanish community leading the tributes.

The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Robert Rigby, represented the people of Westminster at the much-loved beautiful church that also stands out amid busy modern-day life on the streets of London as a historical bastion of Roman Catholicism in the UK capital.

Also present at the Mass on 3 December was the Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain, His Excellency Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, and His Excellency José Pascual Marco, Spanish ambassador to the UK.
