The Cardinals have processed into the Sistine Chapel. It's fascinating to watch their body language - many of them are staring up at their surroundings, taking it all in. The sense of anticipation is enormous and suddenly they all seem very human. x

Today the #Anglican Communion commemorates Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda and #martyr. An outspoken critic of the Idi Amin regime, he was arrested and murdered on February 16th 1977.
The Archbishop's statue is one of the 20th Century Martyrs on the west front of Westminster Abbey.
