Prayers to mark the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles’s Accession
Churches around the country are marking the first anniversary of the Death of the Late Queen Elizabeth and King Charles’ Accession, with prayers being said for the King, the Royal family and for the Nation.
The Church of England’s Daily Prayer audio services on 8 September reflect the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary (which is marked on this date each year) but also include prayers marking both Accession Day and the first anniversary of HLM Queen Elizabeth’s death (see transcript of prayers below).
Morning and Evening Prayer services are available via our website, the free Daily Prayer app, and podcast
Liturgical provision for use by Church of England churches marking Accession Day is available on our website both from Common Worship and from the Book of Common Prayer.
