The Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated in style across in the Commonwealth to mark the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne on 6 February 1952.
Locally in our community many attended street parties and decorated their houses to mark the occasion and across the UK we prayed for Queen Elizabeth and her family.
‘Almighty God, we pray, that your servant Elizabeth, our Queen, who, by your providence has received the governance of this realm, may continue to grow in every virtue, that, imbued with your heavenly grace, she may be preserved from all that is harmful and evil and, being blessed with your favour may, with the royal family, come at last into your presence, through Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life and who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen’
