With His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and approximately 2,000 guests in attendance, our teams were on hand to ensure the historic enthronement of Dame Sarah Mullally, the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, ran safely.

As part of the operation, our teams were situated at Canterbury Cathedral within the command structure, working seamlessly alongside the police, fire service and other partner agencies to support the smooth running of this prestigious national event.

Dame Sarah Mullally, who is the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury is the first woman to ever hold this position. Before being ordained, she worked as a nurse in the NHS, which she has described as “an opportunity to reflect the love of God”.

She specialised as a cancer nurse and became a ward sister at Westminster Hospital before being made Director of Nursing at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. In 1999, at the age of 37, she was appointed the Government’s Chief Nursing Officer for England in the Department of Health. She was the youngest person ever to be appointed to the post.

Resilience Officer, Alex Wilson said "This was a fantastic example of how our teams work alongside partner agencies to keep everyone safe at major events. Everyone played a vital role in the successful running of this event and it was a privilege to be involved in such history.”
