Dean Robert was installed in July 2001, and during the coronavirus pandemic he has become familiar to online audiences worldwide via his daily Morning Prayer videos from The Deanery at Canterbury Cathedral - and the impromptu appearances of cats Leo and Tiger.
Speaking of his time at Canterbury, Dean Robert said: ‘These 21 years have been exceptionally happy and fulfilling, and I shall miss Canterbury greatly.’
The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Revd Justin Welby, who was installed by Dean Robert at Canterbury Cathedral in 2013, said: 'Dean Robert has been one of the most exceptional deans of the post-war period. He is deeply loved not just at the Cathedral but across the Diocese of Canterbury, the Church of England, the Anglican Communion and far beyond.'
