The Sunday School children are gathered outside, and members of the church process in with the Sunday School. A man working inside the church takes out the old window and replaces it with the new Children's Window. More people make their way into the church, and statues and tombs inside can also be seen.
The unveiling ceremony beings as the Sunday School banner drops away to reveal the new window before a blessing. Miss May Horner, to whom the window was dedicated, also stands holding a bouquet of flowers.
The church restoration continues as there are many construction materials gathered around the church. Workers make repairs through the summer including replacing the large stone shingles from the roof. When the church is finished, a service is held for the entire parish and also features the Archbishop of York, the Reverend Frederick Donald Coggan. Men in uniform process into the church along with the ministers and archbishop for the serivce.
