Remembering Queen Elizabeth II

Today I attended a Church service at St Mary Abbott's in South Kensington, which marked one year since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

I joined the Mayor of RBKC Cllr Preety Hudd, Deputy Mayor Cllr Dori Schmetterling and local residents for a vigil delivered by Mthr Emma Dinwiddy Smith.

This was a solemn and reflective occasion, offering a moment of quiet to remember the dedicated service of the late Queen. 

Mthr Emma Dinwiddy Smith led the congregation in quiet prayer, and she kindly prayed for local and national leaders. 

I extend my well wishes to the King, Queen and wider Royal Family on this first anniversary - may we all be inspired by the dedication, kindness and constancy embodied by Queen Elizabeth II,
