New bishop learning to speak Manx
The Archbishop of York says the new Bishop of Sodor and Mann will serve the Island 'very well' - and play a full part in Manx life.
Dr John Sentamu formally consecrated the Venerable Peter Eagles as bishop, at a majestic ceremony in York Minster yesterday.
The new Lord Bishop has a number of formalities to conduct before he takes up the role here, including paying homage to the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
He's expected to be enthroned in Peel cathedral in the autumn.
Speaking after the service in York, Archbishop Sentamu praised Peter Eagles as 'a man of many talents', who would fit in well:
More commuter trains to be offered amid bus strikes
Post Office reports stronger profits but warns of major changes
More than 1,200 abortions on Island since change in law
Teenagers praised for litter-picking efforts
