As part of the Institution of Civil Engineers’ bi-centenary celebrations a special service took place at Coventry Cathedral on Sunday 14 October.
The service formed part of the ICE’s national celebratory programme and was organised for West Midlands-based members of the ICE.
The organisers of the event felt that that Coventry Cathedral was an entirely appropriate venue for the celebratory service because of its very strong association with civil engineering.
The celebration service was attended by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of the West Midlands, the Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Coventry, Councillor Linda Bigham and Sir John Armitt CBE — a past President of the ICE. The service was led by the Lord Bishop of Coventry.
