The great and the good go to church

I'm off this morning to Fleet Street's St Bride's Church for the Newspaper Publishers Association centenary service. It promises to be an interesting occasion, one of those events at which the political and media élites mix together informally, smiling at each other's jokes while wondering what they are really thinking (and doing behind their backs). There will be addresses by New International supremo Les Hinton and Telegraph ceo Murdoch MacLennan, and readings by the chancellor Gordon Brown and the Associated chairman, Lord Rothermere. Oh yes, and a lot of rather good singing. I'll report later on what is said - at the lectern and at the reception afterwards in the building that Beaverbrook built for his Daily Express in Fleet Street (now owned by Goldman Sachs).
