Last night I was a server for the Mass with the Candlemas ceremonies according to the Extraordinary Form at SS Gregory and Augustine in north Oxford, celebrated by Fr John Saward. This was a beautiful occasion - even if it got a little crowded at times in the Sanctuary with an MC, thurifer, two acolytes and two taperers - and was accompanied with Gregorian chant from the Scola Thomae Abelis.
Fr Blake in Brighton has a post about how he was using the feast day as an occasion to make the congregation more familiar with the traditional form, which you can read here.
