The order of service is based on the Service of Commemoration published by The Queen’s Printer, Cambridge University Press, which will be used in many church and cathedral services of commemoration across the British Isles this weekend. 

The service will begin with a Royal Marine standard bearer carrying the Union Flag into the Church. The Town Church bells will ring (half muffled) before the service and the church flag will remain at half-mast until after the service. 

There will be a retiring collection for the Friends of Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, which helps to raise funds for the benefit of groups or individual participants of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in Guernsey.

The service will be open to all islanders, who are welcome to attend and are asked to arrive at the Town Church by 15:45. Attendees will be asked to provide their contact details, in line with current guidance for large indoor events.

The taxi rank outside the Town Church will be relocated from 15:30 for the duration of the service.

The only access into and out of Church Square on Sunday will be via Quay Street or the High Street.
