christening.The river’s waters have often been used to make the sign of the cross on the heads of royal infants.Charles and Camilla plan to host a private tea afterward at their Clarence House residence.staffSome royal watchers have camped outside the palace for more than 24 hours to obtain a good vantage point for watching the guests arrive, but the ceremony will be private.William and Kate have hired photographer Jason Bell to take official pictures, which are expected to include a historic multi-generational photograph of the queen with three future monarchs: her son Charles, her grandson William and her great-grandson George.The official photographs are expected to be released to the public the day after the christening.Details of the christening service, as released by Clarence HouseThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen two hymns, two lessons and two anthems for the christening of their son, Prince George.The Hymns are Breathe on Me, Breath of God and Be Thou My Vision.The lessons are from St.verses 15-17, read by Miss Pippa Middleton and St.verses 1-5, read by Prince Harry.The anthems are Blessed Jesu!Here we Stand (Richard Popplewell) and The Lord Bless You and Keep You (John Rutter).Here we Stand was written for Prince William’s baptism on 4th August 1982.The anthems will be performed by The Choir of Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal.The Processional Organ Music will be J.Bach’s Fantasia in G (BWV 572).The Recessional Organ Music will be C.Widor’s Toccata from Symphony No 5.The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, will baptise Prince George.He will be supported by The Dean of The Chapel Royal (The Right Reverend and Right Honourable Richard Chartres) and The Sub-Dean of the Chapel Royal (The Reverend Prebendary William Scott).Notes to EditorsThe Chapel Royal ChoirThe Choir of Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal comprises six Gentlemen-in-Ordinary short purple bridesmaid dresses , who are professional singers, and ten Children of the Chapel Royal, boy choristers who hold the Sovereign s choral scholarships at the City of London School, and wear Gold and Scarlet State Coats, still tailored to the Royal Warrant of 1661.At St James s Palace, the Chapel Royal choir sings on Sundays weekly in the Chapel Royal or The Queen s Chapel facing Marlborough Road, and at other events elsewhere as commanded by The Queen.These include the annual Royal Maundy service, the Remembrance Sunday Parade at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, and, in recent years, the wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey, in addition to the Golden and Diamond Jubilee Services at St Paul s Cathedral.Choirs of other Chapels Royal under the authority of The Dean of the Chapel Royal, whose Ordinary is The Queen, continue to operate simultaneously at the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace.The Queen’s GuardThe St James’s Palace detachment of The Queen’s Guard has turned out today in Colour Court for The Queen’s arrival.The Queen will be received with the Royal Salute.Every few days for a year, Ingrid Mida heard an imaginary soundtrack that was something like a choir of angels.It swelled when she discovered a late-1940s Dior jacket in the rafters of a darkened storage room.and that dates back to 1930.The beaded satin dress remains her favourite find, unearthed in the bottom of a cupboard and shoved inside a metal file drawer.Cue the angelic voices: it is by Lanvin.Mida rediscovered these treasures in Ryerson University’s fashion research collection, originally founded in 1981 but eventually abandoned where it sat, for a few dusty years, in a room of the campus library.The locked room and its contents languished until Mida, then a graduate student Junior Bridesmaid , took on the daunting full-time project of sifting, sorting and cataloguing the nearly 7,000 pieces and narrowing the collection’s focus to a more relevant and manageable 3,000.Two years later, the collection resides behind a new door, only sometimes locked.Beyond it, in a subterranean suite of rooms on Ryerson’s downtown Toronto campus, the newly curated fashion research collection is available to students in the Fashion program for the first time this fall.The major fashion study programs in North America keep similar collections (Seneca s Fashion Arts teaching collection, for example, has about 15,000 Canadian-worn pieces), putting vintage clothes in students’ hands as examples of trend cycles and simply how things were made, inside and out.I don’t think students engage with real objects that much.Actually handling beautifully made garments is a foreign experience to most of them.The Internet does have its uses, however: a new blog, Pinterest pages and website encourage Ryerson’s fashion program students and alumni to come research and interact with the clothes.as both complement and antidote to the intangibles of modern, digital design.the collection occupies the former photography darkrooms.Vintage furs relax under a venting hood in an old developing closet stripped of its apparatus.raud was one of the last donations, from the late Kathleen Kubas, before the collection went dormant in 2009.There’s also a couture Pierre Cardin gown from the 1970s.unless it’s a historic item.Pre-1930, that’s a different story because lab.
