THE Archbishop of York, who famously cut up his dog collar on live TV and said he wouldn’t replace it until Robert Mugabe went, would not say yesterday whether he would wear it again following the Zimbabwean President’s resignation.

Dr John Sentamu declined interviews but tweeted: "As always praying for the People of Zimbabwe & more so now that its Govt & Zimbabwe Defence Force will keep Peace,the Rule of Law& Security for ALL."

Dr Sentamu cut his dog collar live on BBC One’s Andrew Marr Show in December 2007, saying Mr Mugabe had “taken people’s identity” and “cut it to pieces,” prompting him to do the same.
