The Very Revd Simon Cowling, Dean of Wakefield, said: ““The death of Her Majesty The Queen marks a solemn and significant moment of transition in the life of our nation.

"Even as we mourn her passing, we give thanks for Her Majesty’s grace, dedication and faithful service over the past seven decades and commend her into God’s keeping. We pray, too, for King Charles and all the royal family at this time of deep sorrow, that they may know God’s comfort and peace.”
