Special Services of Thanksgiving will be held at Guernsey's Town Church and Alderney's St Anne's Church today, with everyone welcome to attend.
Both will start at 11:30 with the Dean of Guernsey, the Very Reverend Tim Barker leading the service in St Peter Port.
He has planned a service to include prayers, hymns and the National Anthem, as people continue to mourn the Death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
He wants it to be an opportunity to give thanks for her life and legacy too.
Reverend Barker had previously told Express that he thought "she was part our national identity, and part of our island identity here in Guernsey". He said his emotional reaction to the death of Queen Elizabeth II was “exactly” what he expected “in so far as one can anticipate this”.

Today's service at the Town Church is open to everyone who wishes to attend, but seating will be on a 'first-come, first-served' basis.
Those wishing to attend can arrive from 10:45 onwards.
The Service of Thanksgiving will be streamed live on the States of Guernsey Facebook page for those who wish to take part but can't attend.
Other churches across the Bailiwick that have facilities to screen the Town Church service have been encouraged to welcome people for live screenings too.

Associate Minister, Reverend Dr Eric Gaudion said they want to offer a place so "folk can gather in our building on the West Coast to be together and share in this local event".
Car parking is available at the church, the entrance to parking being in Rue des Goddards, just inland from the slipway, opposite Vazon Bay Apartments.
Reverend Dr Gaudion said "sometimes in a period of mourning and grief it can help just to be together. We are glad to offer this extra opportunity to do so for anybody, of all faiths or of none".

The Service of Thanksgiving in Alderney will involve members of all the Island’s churches.
It is open to everyone to attend and has been billed "an opportunity to come together to remember and give thanks for the life of Her Majesty".
