These are my immediate memories and impressions at the close of a stupendous few days. Just now I still feel too close to them to provide a more judicious summary:
Huw Edwards from the BBC was everything one would wish: respectful, dignified, sensitive. Thank you, Auntie, for getting the papal visit completely right.
If only Blessed John Henry hadn’t written that rash wording of his famous toast in his Letter to the Duke of Norfolk. Liberals have been trotting it out and dining out on it ever since. Catherine Pepinster of The Tablet was the latest on Thought for the Day on Saturday. I wanted to throw my pillow at the radio.
