Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it! One of the hallmarks of Christmas on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), aside from the Queen's Speech, is Carols from King's College, filmed in Cambridge every December. Fun fact: the famous Christmas Eve service's full title is 'A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols', and was first broadcast in 1928! King's College Chapel is just one example of the inspiring and historic architecture that is commonplace in this amazing city - always a favourite for Reach student selfies! Happy holidays to all.
