The service was led by the acting bishop Trond Bakkevik, acting dean Elisabeth Thorsen and Cathedral priest Birte Nordahl.  The Oslo Cathedral Choir participated during the service. The artist Maria Solheim performed the song "The stately dressed butterfly", accompanied by Martin Rosenhoff on cello.
