Great pictures as always. What are the strips of cloth hanging down in the first picture? And is it just the light, or was the archbishop a religious and is therefore wearing choir dress in a different colour?
These are a means of holding back the cappa so that it doesn't come down in front (as seen in the second photo of the Gilroy/Griffin post from two days ago) if it is not wanted.
