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

It has been some years since the Parish Council kindly bought the phone box for £1, I would say that was a pound well spent. There is always plenty of books to choose from and the stock is changing regularly. Alasdair and I have given the book exchange a coat of paint and tidied the area around the box and it is lovely to see the bench back by the book exchange. We were delighted to see a family eating their packed lunch there at the weekend and browsing through a couple of books. Thank you all for your continued support in bringing books for us all to read, its wonderful.

Flordon book exchange is now up and running and there are lots of fresh books to choose from. I would like to thank everyone who uses the exchange and hope you continue to enjoy the variety of material available. Al and I will get round to giving the phone box a fresh lick of pillar box red paint soon. Many thanks, Pearl.

Flordon’s annual get together – the village barbecue/ Hog Roast – was enjoyed in perfect weather by villagers aged 0 to 90. Excellent food was followed by face painting and games for the children, while the rest of us just enjoyed each other’s company.

Our grateful thanks to Tony and Amanda for their hard work and organisation and to everyone else who provided food or helped in any way to make this a wonderful event.
