It is with great sadness that we learned today of the death of His Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Our thoughts and prayers are with Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family at this time.
God of our lives,
we give thanks for the life of Prince Philip,
for his love of our country,
and for his devotion to duty.
We entrust him now to your love and mercy,
through our Redeemer Jesus Christ.
Amen.

The cross outside church will be an area of remembrance where floral tributes can be laid at any time. Please note Buckingham Palace has asked for donations to charity in lieu of flowers.
A book of condolence can be signed virtually on the Church of England website. www.churchofengland.org
