The Service will take place on Sunday 26 August at 6pm and a warm welcome is extended to all who would like to participate. It is the first time that a Paralympic Service, which is open to all people, has been held and it will be a wonderful occasion to celebrate together.

The Service is being organised in conjunction with the British Paralympic Association and the English Federation of Disability Sport. We look forward to welcoming many Paralympians who have participated in former games and the many people who have supported the Games through the years and especially in London 2012. Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson will give the address. Paralympic Sports will be represented and showcased in the side aisles of the Cathedral.

Admission is free but by ticket only. To apply please complete and return the response slip by Friday 10 August 2012. Tickets will be sent out w/c Monday 20 August.
