Yesterday the Queen became the country's first nonagenarian sovereign. She celebrated with a walkabout with the Duke of Edinburgh to meet members of the public and at midday gun salutes were held across the UK. Later in the day she lit the first in a chain of a thousand beacons across the UK and worldwide. We can thank God for the life of Queen Elizabeth II and celebrate the love that she has for her people and for the grace and commitment with which she carries out her duties. We can thank God for her open declaration of her Christian faith and we can ask God to bless her health, giving her strength and vigour. We can also ask God to bless Prince Philip and all her family, their marriages and their relationships, with health, strength, peace and joy.
