00:00 Peterborough, Peterborough United, yeah.
00:03 Check what I'm doing.
00:05 So, Peterborough United will be kicking off in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy on Sunday.
00:10 Will the Cathedral be doing anything special, saying any prayers or anything?
00:14 We will certainly have prayers in our morning service, and I think that's really important that we do.
00:18 I'm not sure whether we'll have anything in the sermon, because our canon missionary is a Leeds supporter,
00:23 but the Cathedral will pray for Peterborough that it's a good day and the best possible result on the occasion.
00:30 Peterborough, of course, is probably best known for two things, the Cathedral and Peterborough United.
00:34 How important is it for the mood of the city and the city in general for Peterborough to do well?
00:40 Sometimes people are not in the city, but we're very, very proud of it.
00:44 The football club, the fantastic Cathedral, these things are part of what binds us together as a community, as a city.
00:51 They're the things that give us self-esteem and confidence.
00:54 And so, yeah, they're really important for our well-being and our sense of who we are and our pride in our civic identity.
