A message from Bishop Jonathan, Bishop Simon and Dean Philip

It is with great sadness that we have learned today of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

Our most sincere condolences, on behalf of the Diocese of Rochester, have been expressed to the Royal Family.

The Queen’s long reign has offered stability and reassurance to the United Kingdom and beyond, and Her Majesty’s commitment and service both to the nation and the Commonwealth have been a source of constant encouragement.
