Forms of Service for the Commemoration of the Life of Her Late Majesty,
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother

[Church of England] Cambridge University Press has today published official
Forms of Service for commemorating the life of Her Late Majesty Queen
Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Authorised by the Archbishops of Canterbury and
York for use in the Church of England, these services are also suitable for
ecumenical use and are freely made available.

The official guidance encourages their use up to the day of the funeral,
April 9th, and for seven days after that, but stipulates that they should
not be used on the day of the funeral itself.

Both traditional and contemporary forms for Holy Communion and memorial
services are included. The orders of service have been produced
electronically and have been placed on a web site in PDF format, from where
they can be freely downloaded and reproduced without further permission
being necessary. The web address is http://www.cambridge.org/

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York yesterday issued prayers offered for
use by individuals and churches during the period of mourning for Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. These are available on the web at
http://www.anglicancommunion.org/acns/.
