This was shown on BBC Two with Steve Hillage (of Gong) playing guitar. Oldfield later added his playing to the album by overdubbing his acoustic guitar at Worcester Cathedral.

The scenary backdrop was designed and painted by Robert 'Bob' Leonard White (1901-1979).
The event was filmed by BBC Television and recorded by BBC Sound.
