On 21 March 2013 at Canterbury Cathedral, England, highlights of the enthronement.
At the Great West Door, a member of the congregation, Evangeline Kanagasooriam, said: "We greet you in the name of Christ. Who are you and why do you request entry?"
Justin: "I am Justin, a servant of Jesus Christ, and I come as one seeking the grace of God, to travel with you in his service together".
Jesus: "Take heart, it is I, do not be afraid".
Narrated by the BBC's Huw Edwards, a BAFTA award-winning Welsh journalist, presenter and newsreader.
A note about the Chair of St. Augustine (from Wikipedia):
"Named after the first Archbishop of Canterbury, St Augustine of Canterbury, the chair is made of Petworth Marble and dates to sometime between the sixth and twelfth centuries. Those who argue for an older date suggest that it may have been used to crown the kings of Kent. It has been in use since at least 1205. Canterbury Cathedral, in which the cathedra is housed, maintains that the chair was once part of the furnishings of the shrine of St Thomas Becket, which was destroyed during the English Reformation.
Since an early period, it has always had a place in the triple enthronement of an Archbishop of Canterbury. He is seated on the throne in the choir as Diocesan Bishop, in the chapter house as titular abbot, and in St. Augustine's chair as Primate of All England. This is the only occasion in which this cathedra is used. A second one is used for other occasions in which the archbishop is present".
