Flowering tree ID please (? Portuguese Laurel) - Moth - 02-07-2021

Can anyone identify this tree? It is about 20 feet high and the same wide, growing in a very old disused churchyard.

Portuguese Laurel?

Agree with The Boss (would I dare do otherwise?)

Yes! Thank you both. I always expect laurel flowers to be vertical, not hanging, and that completely put me off identifying it. And I've never seen one so totally covered in flowers like this.
