A short photo album of the Carol Service held at the Great Barn in Harmondsworth on the evening of Saturday 13th December 2003.

All were taken using a simple digital camera, mostly without the use of flash, hence the grainy appearance and the "ghostly" feel where people have moved during the long shutter speed selected by the camera.

One child was overheard saying to their parents as they walked into the barn, "Is this where Jesus was born?"
