It all began with a short service in St Paul’s Cathedral before the Archbishop of Canterbury set off with her husband and a small team on their Pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral. That was on Tuesday 17th of March. I photographed the blessing and the first few miles of their 87 mile journey before leaving them at Rotherhithe to go and edit my pictures. A couple of days later I joined them again at Aylesford Priory for a couple of hours and then dipped in and out of the pilgrimage before covering the last couple of miles as they walked from Chartham to Canterbury itself.
