On 15th and 16th of October the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Romanov Society was invited to display their exhibition “Members of the Romanov House during the First World War: Charity and Heroism” inside the former Russian Embassy chapel in Welbeck Street, Marylebone. Many Romanovs visiting London prayed in this chapel.
This was to coincide with the visit of Patriarch Kirill to London. On Saturday 15th the Patriarch served a moleben in the chapel in the presence of a number of clergy and guests, most prominently the Ambassador of the Russian Federation. On the following day the Patriarch consecrated the restored Cathedral of the Dormition in Knightsbridge.
