Remembering Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Gracious God, we give thanks
for the life of your servant Queen Elizabeth,
for her faith and her dedication to duty.
Bless the British nation as we mourn her death
and may her example continue to inspire us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch and also head of the Church of England, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.

As a Church of England chaplaincy we, the Anglican Church Freiburg would like to pay tribute to the life of a remarkable leader, remember her legacy, offer space to mourn and pray for the Royal Family, including her successor King Charles III.

Commemorating the Death of Her Majesty

At the Anglican Church Freiburg

Our congregation is made up of people from all over the globe, and not everyone will have had an emotional connection to Her Late Majesty. Yet, it is important for us to provide opportunities to talk and mourn, and to encourage all who have so far not felt close to her, to learn about and be inspired by the extraordinary life of Queen Elizabeth II.

During the period of mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II there will be space and time at all ACF groups and services to grieve, pray and remember:
