The new Ambassador of the United Kingdom to the Holy See, Sally Axworthy, presented her credentials to Pope Francis. ;

Sally Axworthy, who was accompanied by her husband, wore the traditional British diplomatic uniform to the meeting, including a bicorne hat and a sword, thus making her the first to dress in a female specially designed uniform.

Ambassador Axworthy has replaced Nigel Baker in office. She has a long career as a diplomat, having served in Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and most recently, India. ;

She will face important challenges in her new role, including inter-religious dialogue between the Catholic and Anglican Church. But more importantly, she represents a country which has recently voted for stricter immigration laws, whereas Pope Francis is possibly the most pro 'open-door policy' head of state in the world. ;
