Here is the News!

Back to York Minster again, but for a very different series of shots. This morning the Church of England consecrated their first woman bishop, and these shots were the scenes outside the Minster before the service took place.

Women bishops have been a controversial topic within the Anglican church, and this was reflected by the number of journalists and film crews there. A steady stream of people entered by the west door, while a parade of clergy headed towards the south door.
