"The Servant Queen and the King she serves": A Civic and Community Service marking the 90th birthday of HM The Queen

This very special service, involving clergy from local Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Roman Catholic, Methodist and Salvation Army congregations, took place on Sunday evening 12th June. A large congregation received Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for County Antrim, Mrs. Joan Christie OBE and other distinguished guests, including Cllr. Wales MBE (Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council), Mr. Sammy Wilson MP, Mr. Roy Beggs MLA, Aldermen, Councillors and a range of other community representatives from the voluntary and statutory sectors. After the service there was a rousing rendition of the Coronation anthem "Zadok the Priest", performed by a community choir under the direction of Mr. Nigel McClintock, with Mr. Stephen Hamill accompanying on the organ. Photographs will soon be posted.
