Dame Sarah Mullally was enthroned ​as the Church of England’s first female Archbishop of Canterbury on Wednesday.

The former nurse took her seat on the 13th-century Chair of St Augustine at Canterbury Cathedral before 2,000 guests, including heir-to-the-throne Prince William and his wife Kate, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and religious leaders.

The first female Archbishop of Canterbury said her teenage self “could never have imagined the future that lay ahead”, during her installation as leader of the Church of England.

In her first sermon as archbishop, Dame Sarah Mullally said: “As I look back over my life – at the teenage Sarah, who put her faith in God and made a commitment to follow Jesus, I could never have imagined the future that lay ahead, and certainly not the ministry to which I am now called.”
