Archbishop's peace vigil in tent

The Archbishop of York has moved into a tent in York Minster as part of an act of "public witness" to encourage peace in the Middle East.

Dr John Sentamu will live on a liquid diet while he camps inside the Minster for seven days, to highlight the plight of people caught up in the conflict.

He has given up a family holiday in Salzburg, Austria, to sleep rough and fast while praying for peace.

To launch the vigil on Sunday he publicly had his head shaved.
