The young people taking part in this year's carol service show there is much to be hopeful for, each making a positive contribution and giving something to the community. So let's also reflect on what these young people are doing to make the world a better place and look to the future with optimism. 'To Londoners and people of all faiths everywhere, my best wishes for the season.' Londoners of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome to attend the Mayor's Christmas carol service.
