Salisbury Cathedral in England opened its doors to a crowd of a different kind at the weekend as it became a vaccination hub.
The historic site, which was built 800 years ago, became a venue for the Sarum South Primary Care Network Covid-19 local vaccination service.
Local GPs invited patients in the over-80s priority group to attend the cathedral for their first Covid-19 jab.
The patients at Salisbury Cathedral were from five local GP practices - Salisbury Medical Practice, Harcourt Medical Centre, Three Chequers Medical Practice, Downton Surgery and Whiteparish Surgery.
They queued for a short time around the cloisters before going into the cathedral.
The Very Rev Nicholas Papadopulos, Dean of Salisbury, said: "This place has stood here for 800 years to give glory to God, and to serve the city and the region.
"What better way could there be of doing that than hosting Salisbury's stage in the vaccination programme. It is absolutely wonderful."
He described the vaccines as "a real sign of hope for us at the end of this very, very difficult year".
NHS staff, patients and those accompanying them were treated to music from Salisbury Cathedral's famous Father Willis organ throughout Saturday.
A programme of music to mark the occasion was developed by David Halls, director of music for the cathedral, and John Challenger, the assistant director of music.
