Consecration of Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral

A day to remember - celebration and consecration in Liverpool.

A joyful day for Liverpool - 14 May 1967. Crowds line the streets as clergy and dignitaries, including Ted Heath and Harold Wilson, arrive for the consecration of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. This striking example of mid-20th architecture, designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, is the largest Catholic cathedral in England, and is now a Grade II listed building.
