Britain has lost its queen, but the world has lost the queen. The first three people in line to file past Elizabeth II’s coffin when lying in state at Westminster Hall were from Ghana, Wales and Sri Lanka. As they view the flowers piling up in Green Park, tourists from Egypt and Northern Ireland are discussing royal nicknames. Some 4 billion people are expected to watch the funeral on Monday. How did the queen stir such affection across the globe? The secret was partly in her silence. By never betraying her opinions, she allowed people to project onto her whatever they wished her to be. This also enabled people to feel a personal connection to someone they had never met. The power of silence......

We pray for the members of the Royal Family throghout this time of grief.

Almighty God, source of all consolation,
we pray for the members of the Royal Family who mourn the loss
of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
Uphold them in your love and pour out on them the consolation of your healing Spirit.
Let them find in your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
comfort in their sadness, certainty in their doubt
and courage to live through this hour.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thursday 22 September will be a one off public holiday to mourn the loss of the queen.
