Death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh




Our parishes share the sadness of the nation at the death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. As you would expect, we will be holding him in our prayers together with Her Majesty the Queen and members of the Royal Family. We are being asked not to use physical books of condolence but this link will take you to the Church of England's online Book of Condolence.
