Many happy returns and thank you for a century of curiosity, wonder and unwavering dedication to life on earth.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
Happy New Year! All of us at Westminster Abbey wish you a happy and peaceful 2026.

“Journeying is a constant theme of the Christmas Story. The Holy Family made a journey to Bethlehem and arrived homeless without proper shelter. The Wise Men made a pilgrimage from the East to worship at the cradle of Christ; and the Shepherds journeyed from field to town in search of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In each case, they journeyed with others; and relied on the companionship and kindness of others.”
In this year’s Christmas Broadcast or ‘King’s Speech’, His Majesty reflects on the theme of the journey, in religious life and more broadly. You can now watch in full on:
