Archbishop of York gets passionate about England
It seems everyone was caught up by football fever last night, as England won their first ever World Cup penalty shoot-out to beat Colombia and progress to the quarter finals.
That includes Archbishop of York John Sentamu, who was tweeting up a storm in the first half – but went quiet in the second, because “had to go into my Chapel to keep Calm and keep thought for our youngest players”.
Here are those tweets in full:
