On Sunday 11th April, our 11am service at St Mary’s will be a communion service in memory of HRH Prince Philip.
The St Mary’s Annual Meetings will follow, as planned, at 12 noon.
St Mary’s will then be open from 1pm-2pm for private prayer and reflection.
As the Palace has requested, people should, where possible, donate to charity rather than leaving floral or other tributes. If you do decide to leave a floral tribute in Buckden, please would you lay it at the War Memorial in the churchyard?
