Although the nation will be celebrating The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June this year, Sunday 6 February marks the actual 70^th anniversary the Queen’s accession to the throne.

During the 9.30am parish Eucharist in Wimborne Minster special prayers will be included for Her Majesty. The Mayor Cllr Kelly Webb and her escort Mr Trevor Webb will be present and it is hoped that the Dorset Lieutenancy will be represented.  All are welcome to attend.

In 2002 and 2012  special services were held in Wimborne Minster to mark the Golden and Diamond Jubilees but this time the 70th anniversary falls on a Sunday hence the inclusion of special prayers in the Parish Eucharist.
