Letter: Choir is booked

Sir:Lord Horder (letter, 14 October) says that he has learned "indirectly" that Choral Evensong will not precede the unveiling in Westminster Abbey of a memorial to Sir John Betjeman.

One direct phone call would have proved him wrong. At a planning meeting held a month ago with Sir John's daughter, all the details of Choral Evensong with the full choir, followed by the unveiling ceremony, were agreed.
