We are very sad to receive the news that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
The churches and communities across the diocese will be praying for the Queen and Royal Family in their sorrow. We also give thanks to God for Prince Philip’s extraordinary years of dedicated service and support to the Queen.
