Armistice Day 1918 - Dancing Clergy in Lincoln.

I love this short story from 'A Stillness Heard round the World by Stanley Weintraub' about the dancing clergy.

What a sight two church dignitaries celebrating the moment.

"In Lincoln, Stanley Downing remembered, he ran home to the sound of pealing bells, past the cathedral. “Two of the Cathedral dignitaries – one with a long white beard and both in cassocks, gowns and mortarboards – met in the middle of the Cathedral lawn, joined hands and performed a little jig of jubilation. In those days the Cathedral clergy were almost as stately as God Himself and the sight of those two elderly dancers is my strongest memory of the day. Knees up, Knees, don’t let the breeze up.”"
