A TIME capsule celebrating the 125th anniversary of The Mother's Union was carried through Worcester as part of a national procession.
The time capsule began its tour of the country at Westminster Abbey on Thursday, June 7 and arrived in Worcester on Wednesday in a rare two-door Talbot car.
It was then carried to Dines Green First School in a pedestrian procession, which included a number of people dressed in Victorian and Edwardian costumes.
The capsule contains a message from the Queen, a personal prayer by the Union's founder Mary Sumner, and the Union's mission statement.
From Dines Green First School the capsule was taken to Malvern before it was handed over to the Hereford Diocese at Colwall Church.
After touring the rest of the country the capsule will eventually arrive at Mary Sumner House in London on November 7.
"The capsule will not be buried but it will be put on display along with a scrapbook and some wacky photos of its journey around the country," said Sandra Ashcroft the marketing co-ordinator for the Claines Branch of The Mother's Union which celebrates its 112th anniversary this year.
