St Pauls' Cathedral AFGHANISTAN A Service of Commemoration 13th March 2015

Her Majesty The Queen will attend the service of commemoration at St Paul's to mark combat operations in Afghanistan.
At the service, to be held on Friday 13 March at 11am and broadcast live on BBC1, The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will be accompanied by The Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, The Duke of York and The Earl and Countess of Wessex.
The Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Defence, Service Chiefs and other senior political and military figures will also attend. They will be alongside members of the Armed Forces, veterans, the next of kin of deceased personnel, representatives of military and aid charities and organisations, and the UK’s NATO allies in Afghanistan from 2001 - 2014. Representatives of the Afghan nation will also be present, together with leaders of world faiths.
Following the service, The Prince of Wales will take the salute as a parade of personnel who served in Afghanistan from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, the Army and the Royal Air Force, and veterans, supported by military bands and Pipes and Drums will make their way from St Paul’s to receptions at Guildhall hosted by the City of London Corporation, and at the Honourable Artillery Company, attended by members of the Royal Family, for those who attended the service and those who took part in the parade.
During the parade, a flypast of aircraft used in the campaign, including Chinook, Apache and Sea King Helicopters, and Hercules and Tornado aircraft will fly over the parade and Cathedral in tribute.
The service will remember those who have died and are injured, as well as all who served in Afghanistan, and prayers will also be offered for the people of Afghanistan who have also died or suffered in the conflict. During the service, a cross made of shell casings that adorned a memorial wall in Camp Bastion will be blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
In 2009, The Queen also attended a similar service to mark the end of operations in Iraq.

So much pomp and ceremony! Phew!!! But so glorious!!! My my! Overall, I love seeing the Queen. I know she is probably a strong lady with a rich personality. However, I truly adore seeing her tender appearance. She truly understands the authority position of one being in the role of a leader yet under a greater authority. The authority of Him who rules from the heavens: long live the Queen!!!

[@olatunjigreenag4088]

Yes ...love seeing the Queen too. Long live the Queen

I love the sound of St Pauls, yes they are in many way tin pots, and pre simpson tuned bells, but somehow they are the ICONIC sound of London. Always makes me feel a bit homesick now I live in Sydney

[@dhoraray1310]

Oh, Lord, Thou art the true witness of Her Royal Majesty's service in WW ll years as an officer, her husband and her children and grandchildren in hot spots of the world. This fact impresses and moves a humble heart of any sensible and sensitive human being.

[@cathaypacific2118]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful service 🙏 Amen

[@eliolsen745]

For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords. To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. Lead your people into freedom, from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how, through care and goodness, fear will die and hope increase. All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. You, Creator-God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness, bring the life of Christ to mind; that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

Vicars not priest. The Catholic Church does not except women priests. However the Protestant Church accepts women vicars.

[@brookeggleston9314]

Sorry if this is a offensive question but is the soldier carrying the cross during for the healing of the nation injured or are they deliberately walking that way

[@eliolsen9652]

It’s a British style of marching.

[@jimhogg8926]

I have never seen the Queen or any member of the Royal Family receive Holy Communion or cross themselves. Why would this be?

[@michaelfeinerman4878]

Making the sign of the cross is not as common among Anglican laymen as among Roman Catholics, although it is now somewhat more common than it was when the Queen was growing up. Because communion is a private devotion and a sacred act, broadcasters do not focus on the monarch at the moment she receives.

[@postwar46]

The gravity of holiness flows down to the floor of a great national edifice, to be raised up again to the lofty towers from the tongues of a faithful tribe, who are counted righteous through the record of scripture. Who can withstand the power and holiness of Father God, dwelling in his people, that are sanctified through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus upon the cross?

The archbishop is wrong. Jesus knew that his sacrifice was received by God his Father before he died. For hom to suggest otherwise shows he knows nothing of real religion.
