We remember Prince Philip with gratitude for decades of tireless service and dedication, and with sadness at the loss his death brings to his family and to the life of the nation.

We are being urged not to open physical books of condolence, but there are facilities online to send a message.  You can write a message of condolence on the Church of England website, and find more resources to assist in your prayers at this time of national mourning.  Alternatively, or in addition, you can send a message via the Royal Family website, or by emailing South Norfolk Council on condolence@s-norfolk.gov.uk.

The Queen has expressed her desire that people refrain from sending or placing bouquets or flowers in memory of Prince Philip, but instead consider offering a donation to charity.  Please do consider offering something to a local charity or one of the many charities supported by Prince Philip in his memory.

The church buildings remain open daily for private prayer, and we encourage you to visit and offer prayer.  You can find resourecs to help with this on the Church of England website.

We will be offering prayers at this Sunday's service held via Zoom, livestreamed on Facebook, and broadcast on YouTube and the church website afterwards.

We will also be tolling our church bells ahead of Prince Philip's funeral, observing the two-minute silence at the end of the funeral service, and will post a link to the official commemorative service, which will be broadcast on the Church of England's Facebook and YouTube channels.

Our prayers and thoughts are with those who are grieving in so many ways at this time
