Cardinal Nichols’s Loyal Address to His Majesty on behalf of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

On behalf of the Catholic community in England and Wales, I thank Your Majesty for the privilege of offering you this expression of our highest esteem and our assurance of loyalty to you in your service of our nations.

In doing so I assure you that there remains in our hearts a most special place for our late Queen Elizabeth. She is remembered in our prayers, with thanksgiving to God for the remarkable and unique role she played not only in the great events of the last 95 years but also in the lives of so many individuals and communities. We pray that she now has an everlasting place in heaven, embraced by the splendour and glory of God, to whom she was so devoted.
