Rev. Irene writes:

The very sad news of the death of our beloved Queen, Queen Elizabeth II came as a shock to me as I am sure it did to all of you.

To many, including myself, the Queen will have been the only monarch we have remembered for the whole of our lives. I vaguely remember a huge celebration when I was just a small child, everyone congregated in the street where I lived with sandwiches, jelly and ice cream, balloons, and streamers; a great celebration took place, this I was told was the day of the Queen’s coronation.

From that day the Queen has set such an example to everyone, her humility, her hard work, and her love for the people to whom she served, not forgetting her sense of humour, the Paddington bear sketch will go down in history.

I always remember those wonderful words spoken on her 21st birthday in 1947, broadcasting to the world from South Africa:

"I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service." These words were spoken when she was still a princess.

What an achievement, long life, and total devotion to the service of the people.

Queen Elizabeth had great faith and openly spoke of her reliance on that faith, particularly in times of difficulty despite being a queen, and she had a fair share of difficult situations. Her example of steadfastness showed the quality of her nature. In the bible Jesus says I have come not to be served but to serve, Queen Elizabeth served Christ as well as her country.

Queen Elizabeth was loved by so many, not only in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth but around the world, and she will be so sadly missed.

The church mourns her death, the people mourn her death, and I am sure all give thanks for her wonderful reign.

May she rest in peace – and rise in glory!
