The Most Rev Malcolm McMahon has been named as the new Archbishop of Liverpool.

The 64-year-old, from London, is the current Bishop of Nottingham.

He said he was “honoured and humbled” to be appointed to the position and will be the city’s ninth Archbishop.

The new Archbishop of Liverpool today paid tribute to the “dignity” of the Hillsborough families and said he would be supporting them in their continuing campaign for justice.

Bishop McMahon, who was ordained as a priest in 1982, went to Oxford University and has had parishes in London and Newcastle.
