Residents invited to Service of Remembrance for Queen Elizabeth II at Liverpool Cathedral

The official Merseyside Civic Service of Remembrance for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will take place at Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) at 3pm on Sunday 18th September.

The Mayor of Wirral, Cllr Jeff Green will join with Council Leader Cllr Janette Williamson and Chief Executive Paul Satoor, to represent the borough at the service.

Members of the public are also invited to attend, although capacity will be limited. Doors open at 2pm and parking will be limited to Blue Badge holders only.

The service is expected to last around an hour and will include contributions from charities and organisations with links to the late Queen.

The choir of Liverpool Cathedral will lead the congregation in song, which will include the National Anthem.

The Mayor of Wirral, Cllr Jeff Green, said:

“We have lost a much-loved and respected Sovereign who, for 70 years, demonstrated an extraordinary sense of duty and devotion to our country, people and to public service.

“The Civic Service on Sunday will give us another chance to reflect on, and give thanks for, her exceptional life.”

The Dean of Liverpool, Revd Canon Dr Sue Jones, said:

“Sunday is an opportunity for the people of Merseyside to pay their respects for a monarch who devoted her life to faithful service of her people.

“Her life was a model of devotion displaying her solid faith in God during all that time.

“On behalf of Liverpool Cathedral I am proud to welcome people to this place which the Queen herself visited on several occasions.”
