2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Elaine Masterson, Katharine of Aragon reenactor
"It's very moving to walk past where Queen Katharine was interred. It's very moving, when you're fortunate enough to be portraying her. It's quite something. And I like to think that she would be happy to know that we're honouring her and that all these wonderful people are coming into this building in her memory because she loved the people of England. There's no doubt about it. She loved the people of England. And had matters been different, had she had a son. I believe she would have been a happy queen for many more years."

8. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Jose Maria Robles, minister for Cultural Affairs, Embassy of Spain
"She was an extraordinary woman, advanced, educated who promoted not only the education of women but embraced the humanists of the age. She is a link that unites Spain and England and also she is and was a beloved, adored and mourned queen by her subjects and therefore she is for us, for the Spanish people resident in the UK and the Spanish embassy, one of the most important characters of common history."

12. SOUNDBITE: (English) The Very Reverend Chris Dalliston, the Dean of Peterborough
"In fact she was a woman of extraordinary power, of personality, courage, of faithfulness. And I think she is someone who could be an icon really to us of strength and courage and grace and somebody we really do well to remember. And a model for women particularly about... she was an ambassador. She led the country when Henry VIII was away from the nation, away from the country. So in many ways, she has an extraordinary message to tell us."

14. SOUNDBITE: (English) The Very Reverend Chris Dalliston, the Dean of Peterborough
"Remarkably, I think the Tudors have captured our historic imagination and people come in good numbers year by year and all through the year, actually, people come to Katharine's tomb to lay pomegranates and tributes to her tomb. I think she remains in the public imagination a very important person. And indeed, this service has grown year on year in terms of the significance it has. And I think it doesn't show any sign of waning."
