His Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
|
|
|
In this time of sorrow the Lord is in our midst and consoles us with his word:
No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him.
Blessed are the sorrowful; they shall be comforted.
Heavenly Father, into whose hands Jesus Christ commended his spirit at the last hour:
into those same hands we now commend your servant Philip,
that death may be for him the gate to life and to eternal fellowship with you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Remember, O Lord, your servant Philip,
who has gone before us with the sign of faith and now rests in the sleep of peace.
According to your promises, grant to him and to all who rest in Christ,
refreshment, light and peace;
through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Most merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding,
surround the Queen and the Royal Family with your love,
that they may not be overwhelmed by their loss,
but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the days to come.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
A bell will toll at St Mary’s, in the hour before
HRH The Prince Philip’s funeral at 3pm on Saturday

Our principal service will be a Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving, which will take place at 4.30pm. This will be a civic service, with the Lord Lieutenant, High Sheriff, civic leaders and community representatives from across the County and City, and a small number of tickets made available to the public via the Minster website. The service will be livestreamed on the Minster’s YouTube channel and website. The Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, the Rt Revd Paul Williams, will preach, and music will be provided by the Cathedral Choir.
