The Bishop of Durham has said it will be a “huge honour and privilege” to play a prestigious role at the Coronation of King Charles III next month.
The Rt Revd Paul Butler will act as Bishop Assistant to the King, alongside the Rt Revd Michael Beasley, the Bishop of Bath and Wells at the Coronation, on Saturday 6 May.
The role of Bishop Assistant dates back hundreds of years – and the Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Bath and Wells have assumed the duty since the coronation of Richard I.
