The vigil was very good (numbers could have been better, but given the short notice - because of the way the Government are railroading this one through - it wasn't a bad turnout.) I had brought our Parish flag, and started off by holding it up where the wind could gently unfurl it... but unfortunately I was asked by one of the organisers to put it away, as they hadn't wanted banners of any sort.
Even without the flag, it was quite amusing to see how more and more Catholics gradually coalesced at the back... and at the various points when we were instructed by the leaders to pray in small groups in our own words, we said lots of traditional prayers, including the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.
Once the vigil was over, a few of us went off to a local pub (we needed to... my feet had gone completely numb after standing still for two hours!) Among the subjects for discussion was speculation on the collective noun for a group of bloggers.
After several options were suggested, and rejected as not quite right, it was decided that it should be a "roll" of bloggers...So there you have it. You heard it here first!!
