The Queen's Story, Our Story
A service from St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, marking the 60th anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty the Queen. Led by the Rev Richard Carter with the Bishop of London.
A service from St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, marking the 60th anniversary of the Accession of Her Majesty the Queen to the throne. It was in the early morning of 6 February 1952, while staying in a Kenyan game reserve, that the young Princess Elizabeth became Queen when she heard the news of her father's death three thousand miles away in Norfolk. The theme of the service is the kingdom that grows among us - like a tree which grows from a humble mustard seed, the smallest of seeds, into a tree in whose branches many find shelter.
Led by the Revd Richard Carter with Dr Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, and the Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields directed by Andrew Earis. Producer: Stephen Shipley.
