We are also deeply grateful for her life of service and her incredible Christian witness. Her faith in her Lord Jesus Christ was a wonderful witness and the bedrock of her life.St Edmund’s church is open each day if you wish to come for a time of private prayer, reflection and remembrance. St Peter’s church Ringland is also open. If you wish to lay flowers in memory of the Queen they can be placed outside the church by the war memorial.
