Alongside the people of our nation, the communities and congregations of Lancaster Priory express their deep sadness at the news of the death of Her Majesty the Queen. As our Queen and Duke of Lancaster she has give us an exemplary example of Christian discipleship and service for 70 years. We give thanks to God for her reign, life and witness and we pray for all who mourn her death, especially praying for her immediate family and the royal household.

Gracious God,

for her faith and her dedication to duty.
Bless our nation as we mourn her death
and may her example continue to inspire us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
