The Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle has been described as a 'consummate professional'
Dr Hoyle will be "appropriately concerned" but "confident" in leading the Queen's funeral, his former colleagues have said.
On watching him lead, Dr Savage said: "I'll be proud. I will be saying to folk with me, 'I know him; he's my mate.' He's the right man for doing this.Rita Banfield, who was in charge of Dr Hoyle's robes when he was Dean of Bristol said he would be feeling "some trepidation and some fulfilment of his destiny".
"I think, like any funeral, this is an opportunity for us to mourn because we've lost someone we held dear and respected," he said. "A nation and Commonwealth, quite frankly the whole world, will be paying attention and the abbey will be a bit of a crucible holding all that, if you like."Dr Hoyle knew that when he became Dean of Westminster he might well one day face the responsibility of leading the Queen's funeral
