BBC World Service - A Service Of Thanksgiving For The Queen's Reign, 03/06/2022 GMT

A service live from St Paul's Cathedral in London as part of the celebrations across the extended UK Bank Holiday weekend to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen.

Commentator Eleanor Oldroyd describes the scene as senior members of the Royal Family and representatives from across the UK and Commonwealth gather in the Cathedral to celebrate and give thanks for The Queen becoming the longest-reigning British Monarch after 70 years of service.
The service includes bible readings, prayers and congregational hymns, along with anthems sung by the choir of St Paul's, including a new work composed for the occasion by Judith Weir, Master of The Queen’s Music, that sets to music words from the third Chapter of the Book of Proverbs.
