The first woman bishop in the history of the Church of England was today officially consecrated - but the ceremony at York Minster was disrupted by a protesting vicar. The Reverend Libby Lane (left) became the Bishop of Stockport in a service conducted by the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu. The historic event was interrupted by the appearance of an ultra-conservative priest, Rev Paul Williamson (pictured right and, centre, disrupting the service), who shouted 'Not in the Bible' as she was presented to the congregation.
