The Hannover Police Choir sang during the service.
We happened to be wandering through Braunschweig on Thursday afternoon on a really hot day, when by chance we came across the service to remember "Henry the Lion," the founder of the city's Cathedral. Each year the city remembers him by laying a rose on his tombstone in the crypt. Henry was married to Matilda, the daughter of English King Henry ll and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and a rose is also left on her tombstone.

The choir singing while two roses were laid on the tombs of Henry and Matilda.
The choir of mens' voices sounded lovely in the huge space of the cathedral.
