Truro Cathedral holds service of thanksgiving
Getty ImagesA service of thanksgiving for the life of Queen Elizabeth II has been held at Truro Cathedral.
The service, which began at 16:00 BST, reflected on the Queen’s faith, leading to a thanksgiving for the life and example she set.
The service was open to all and was live-streamed on YouTube.
After the service, refreshments were served in the North Transept. Also on Sunday, a one-minute silence will take place across the UK at 20:00 BST.
People can also sign a book of condolence, in which many messages have been left.
The books have been placed in Cornwall Council office buildings and will remain available at the following locations until after Monday’s state funeral:
- St John’s Hall, Penzance
- Dolcoath Council Office, Camborne
- County Hall, Truro
- Council Offices, Penwinnick Road, St Austell
- Chy Trevail, Bodmin
- Luxstowe House, Liskeard
Councillor Pauline Giles, chair of Cornwall Council, said: “It is so important that people across Cornwall can feel part of the historic events we are living through.
“By coming together in times of reflection, we can provide much needed support for each other through these sad times.”
