About this sermon
The world mourns as Buckingham Palace confirmed the longest serving monarch in British history and supreme head of the Church of England, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away today at the age of 96. We take a look back at the extraordinary life of the queen of the United Kingdom for the past 70 years. December 1936 was a moment that forever shaped the young girl's life. After ruling less than a year, King Edward the 8th abdicated the thrown to his brother. In 1937, a new reign began in Britain, as the Duke of York was crowned King George the 6th. This made King George's eldest daughter, then Princess Elizabeth, next in line to the throne. 10 years later, Princess Elizabeth married Phillip, the present Duke of Edinburgh. After the couple welcomed their children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, and Princes Andrew and Edward, the 25 year old Princess Elizabeth got the news that her father had passed. His reign lasted only 15 years, and suddenly Elizabeth was queen. From a girl who was third in line to the throne, to the longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II leaves behind a legacy, a life full of family, faith and devotion to country.
