What a week! On Tuesday I had the pleasure of being able to give a lecture on the Ghent Altarpiece at the chapel of Eton College for the Windsor Festival. The following evening I had the honour of giving a talk at Flanders House in London on the influence of the Low Countries on the English coronation service.Eton College Delegation of Flanders in the UK #windsorfestival - We were honoured to welcome in Flanders House Harry De Paepe, the Flemish expert on all things British! Harry delighted us with a lecture on the historical links between the low countries and British coronations. Only by understanding our strong historical ties can we keep nurturing the friendship between our countries, and strengthen our collaborations!
