“Pray for me … that God may give me wisdom and strength to carry out the solemn promises I shall be making, and that I may faithfully serve him and you, all the days of my life.

This was the prayer request made by Her Majesty the Queen in her first Christmas broadcast in 1952. Throughout her long life, Christ’s example and teaching have been seen acted out in the dutiful and faithful life of our servant-hearted Queen Elizabeth.

We know that her visits to her home at Sandringham offer her valuable times of rest and relaxation and she is held in special esteem and fondness in the County of Norfolk and Diocese of Norwich. This weekend we join with millions of others throughout the UK and around the Commonwealth, celebrating and giving thanks for the life and service of the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee. Seventy years of service to our country and to our world.
