Following traditions stretching back hundreds of years, the service will also feature contributions from local schools and community groups. It will include processions, a variety of music and an official welcome, as well as the anointing and enthronement of Bishop Mike.

You can watch the service live or catch-up with it afterwards on the Exeter Cathedral YouTube channel. Please click the link to view.

Bishop Mike will begin the day in prayer at dawn on Woolacombe Beach, where he has happy memories of childhood holidays with his own parents.

He will also join the congregation for a service at the rural St Peter’s church in Bittadon, visit Barnstaple Panier Market, and a community hockey club in Tiverton en route to Exeter.

The Enthronement service itself will commence with a procession from Exeter’s Guildhall to Cathedral Green.
