Churches across Wales will be saying prayers for Queen Elizabeth II on the eve of her funeral.

The funeral of the late monarch, who died last Thursday aged 96, will be held at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.

Special commemoration services will be held this Sunday across the country, the Church in Wales has announced.

The Archbishop of Wales, Andy John, said: “The past week has seen thousands of people visiting our churches to pray, reflect, light a candle or sign a book of condolence.

“This Sunday will be an opportunity for us all to come together in sorrow and to pray for the Royal Family ahead of the funeral on Monday.

“I hope as many people as possible will attend and I am immensely grateful to our churches for all the work they have done to serve and support their communities at this time.”

Bin collections and burials rescheduled and libraries closed for Queen’s funeral
