Female bishop Libby Lane: 'Grateful for confidence placed in me'

Reverend Libby Lane has made history by becoming the first woman bishop to be appointed by the Church of England.

Her appointment comes a month after the general synod voted to allow women to take the office.

Mrs Lane, a vicar from Cheshire, will become the new Bishop of Stockport.
