The Very Revd Dr Simon Jones was installed as the 85th Dean of Lincoln at a service in Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 14 September 2024.
The day was filled with tradition, music, prayer and joy, as hundreds of people welcomed Simon into his new role.
As well as those that were able to join in person, many more people watched a live stream of the service on the Cathedral’s YouTube channel – you can watch again here.
