Sir Lindsay Hoyle joins hundreds to watch Mormon festival at Preston England Temple grounds in Chorley

The 2023 British Pageant began with a bang with more than 700 volunteers, including 130 performers who worked together to put on the huge community theatre project for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chorley. The event, one of the biggest of the year for the church, was held inside a 1,200-seat marquee, claimed to be the largest in Europe, and saw a sell-out crowd enjoy the songs and dancing festivities.

Take a look at some of the pictures from the show’s tenth anniversary, enjoyed by Sir Lindsay Hoyle, fellow local MPs Chris Green and Andrew Stephenson, and hundreds of guests.
