Today on the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord Bishops from across the country and priests from the Diocese and invited parish guests, civic dignitaries and family and friends came to Lancaster Cathedral to witness the episcopal ordination of Bishop Paul Swarbrick the seventh Bishop of Lancaster.  For short video from ITV Border Fiona Marley, see our Lancaster Young People's Facebook page.
