Queen Elizabeth II and Her Church: Royal Service at Westminster Abbey
Ebook
The Queen, when she was 21, declared that her whole life whether it was long or short would be devoted to service. At the coronation, she was set apart for service after the example of Jesus Christ. In Her Majesty's diamond jubilee year, the Dean of Westminster recalls the coronation, and special commemorations attended by The Queen in Westminster Abbey in recent years, including the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (which reached a television audience of 2.2 billion people). He offers an insight into some very special occasions -- not all widely known -- and reflects on a pattern of leadership as devoted service.
The Dean of Westminster reflects on recent Royal services at Westminster Abbey as a model of Royal service.
An insider's view of some remarkable historic services at Westminster Abbey including 2011's Royal Wedding.
Publishing in time for the celebrations of the Queen's diamond jubilee.
Includes reflections on the form of any future coronation (held in the Abbey since 1066).
