He was beaming, or you’re beaming for doing well spotting him? |  |

He probably got a better reception that Boris did…
Love to see it. |  |

What on earth has Johnson done to deserve such a response from the crowd?
They must have thought this was a pantomime and he was one of the ugly sisters. |  |

They probably think he is the character with a cat who goes to London to become mayor

Westminster Roman Catholic Cathedral? |
No need to add the 'Roman Catholic' bit. There's no other cathedral in Westminster.
And 'Westminster Abbey' isn't an abbey.
It's actually a Royal Peculiar called the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster. | |

Fair enough - just trying to clarify the why. I am not too sure how many would have realised that - I wouldn't have. | |

I remember it from a QI question, which was 'Who was the last monarch to be crowned in Westminster Abbey?'
The technically correct answer is Henry VIII, as after he'd set about the abbeys and monasteries of England, it was no longer an Abbey.

In future whenever I speak of it I shall call it the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster. It will sadly leave me less time to do good works for the benefit of humanity, but there. Also hardly anyone will know what I'm talking about, so no change there.
It was a Benedictine abbey until the dissolution in 1539, and then a cathedral for a few years. | | | |

In fact, why don't you go all the way and change your name to Verbose Blue? | | | |

Nah, it's called Westminster Abbey. Same as St Albans Abbey is called St Albans Abbey, even though the pedantic title would be The Cathedral Church of St Alban, St Albans, or St Alban's Cathedral, St Albans, or even St Albans Cathedral, or St Alban's Cathedral. Even though correct, nobody calls it any of those. They call it St Albans Abbey, just like everybody calls Westminster Abbey Westminster Abbey.
There are plenty of places in the UK called Abbeys that are no longer the home church of a working monastery or convent led by an Abbot.
But enjoy your day out at Fountains ruins, next time you go. | | | |

Yes, unless she is also a Cathedral, in which case it would only be right to refer to her as "the seat of the Bishop". | | | |

The current correct name for the enormous building at St Albans is The Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban. The authorities there have instructed their staff to always call it the Cathedral, but we older St Albans folk call it The Abbey.
Verbose Blue (apparently) - I do admit to using words to express ideas. | | | |
