Absolute *belter* of a R3 Evensong from Ripon this afternoon, featuring an almost textbook line-up of #tunes 🙏👏🙏👏🙏👏 https://t.co/rrrghk8ei0

A deep joy and huge privilege to listen to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV in St Peter's Square this morning, exactly one month after His Majesty The King further hallowed this place with his prayers 🙏

I watched a bit of Kitty tonight, in memoriam. There truly is nothing like a Dame - may she rest in peace and rise in glory 💔

I didn't actually mean to *this* early, but tonight I appear to have cracked out the Christmas Carols for 2025!

Hats off to the volunteer in my local charity shop who cheekily priced a Battle of Bannockburn print at £13.14 👏👏👏

Enjoyed exploring some rather lovely Hebridean churches this afternoon ⛪

They missed a trick here: surely buy-one-get-one-free should only be available with discount code 'AVIGNON'?

Wishing those celebrating a very happy #BurnsNight tonight.

@moss_fruit You want to write a poem about an actor
Who struggles to secure a decent contract or
Other blockbuster work
So behaves like a jerk
But you think it might make a better stor(y)

As we mark a year since the Coronation, I continue to pray for King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Royal Family.

May God guide, comfort and strengthen them in their service to us all.

👑 Today marks the first anniversary of The King and Queen’s Coronation in @wabbey.

As well as the service itself, the Coronation Weekend saw a carriage procession through central London, a fly-past, a Royal Salute by 4,000 troops in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, a Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle and a UK-wide volunteering initiative.

What’s your favourite memory of the weekend?

[Craig @scdsimms]

News we've longed for and prayed for - sending Their Majesties much love and sincere best wishes for their future together.

Long to reign over us,
God Save The King!

His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.

To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients. This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead.

In addition, The King and Queen will host Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan for a State Visit in June, at the request of HM Government.

As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year.
