This was stated by someone who knows what he is talking about. He wouldn’t have said it if it was according to the Holy Father’s will. how can we know this? He made a similar statement before. Review this. If the Secretariat of State or the Holy Father had a problem with what Card. Castrillon said back then, he wouldn’t be saying it in public now.(Cf. UK: Card. Castrillon Hoyos - TLM in “Not many parishes – all parishes”!)
The New Liturgical Movement has accounts of the Mass from Fr Anthony Symondson and "Justin" that are well worth reading for the way that they capture the mood of the day. (Cf. Two accounts of Today's Pontifical Mass in London)
Fr Ray Blake has two posts, My new hero and The Mass.
In the Buckingham Arms after Mass, I met Mark of Rise and Pray. He has written about his impressions in Truly a feast of Feasts.... Mac was also there and has several posts at Mulier Fortis, including this photo of her parish priest in biretta reading The Remnant in an English pub. This is now my Facebook profile picture:
Brian Sudlow has posted his own description and reflections on the Mass: Another WestminsterOliver Hayes (The Expectation of Our Lady) has some more photos.
Leutgeb in a World Blogging exclusive notes the use of English composers (Ecce Sacerdos Magnus by Elgar and Byrd's Ave Verum) as well as Palestrina's Missa Sacerdos et Pontifex.
The Dúnadan (Cally's Kitchen) has a personal account of the Mass: Westminster and Other Places (And yes, I was the priest with the cassock and the backpack.)
Fr Hunwicke has a charming observational post focussing especially on the gathering in the piazza after Mass. (Cf. Spanish Cardinals). I heartily concur with him on the joyful, exuberant and genuinely multi-cultural (can we simply say "Catholic") character of the gathering in the Square after Mass.

Heheheheh... that's the second of my photos you've used as your Facebook profile picture. I should start to charge commission!
Dear Father Tim,
First of all, heartfelt thanks and congratulations to all who contributed to this great occasion in the life of the Church in England and Wales.
Having planned to be there since the announcement, I was in the event participating in a Requiem across town. Life, or in this case death, is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.
So to you Father, to Mulier Fortis and to the Dúnadan, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at Blackfen last September, sorry to have missed you all. I am looking at all the photographs from the Cathedral and from the Buckingham Arms and, as my first teacher Sister Rita used to say so many years ago, “offering it up”!
An imagen dedicated to you, Father Tim Finigan:

And my congratilations for the splendid Mass in Westminster.
Hehe! Many thanks for that!
Father Tim, I hope you have got a framed copy of this photo to place on your mantel. I absolutely love it.
Very nice biretta. I love them.
Maybe next time the Spanisch bonete?
