It is with great regret that we had already compressed and uploaded the online service for last Sunday before the death of the Duke of Edinburgh was made known. Bishop Viv made the following comment which reveals his practical interest in church issues. She says:
“I had the privilege of meeting the Duke of Edinburgh on a variety of occasions while I was Dean of Leicester Cathedral. He advised me on a possible design for a new heating system in our Visitor Centre and was honest and humorous about the frustrations of illness which he bore with fortitude while continuing with royal duties and public commitments.
We give thanks for his life and service to our country and beyond, and for his support for Her Majesty the Queen”
