Hundreds of people are expected to descend on Rochester Cathederal this afternoon to say farewell to the Bishop of Rochester.
The Right Reverend Michael Nazir-Ali announced his retirement earlier this year.
Bishop Nazir-Ali became the first non-white diocesan bishop in the Church of England when he was appointed in 1994.
Since he was appointed 15 years ago he's caused some controversy - last year he received death threats for saying in a Sunday paper that Islamic extremists were creating 'no go areas' for non-Muslims in Britain.
Around 700 people will turn up to the service later.
