Celebration Of Queen And Community

Marlborough Churches Together will be joining with the Town Council to hold a special Civic Service on Sunday, 12th June to celebrate our Queen’s 90th Birthday. It will be a time for thanksgiving to bring the whole community together and a chance to look back at the parish over the last 90 years - Marlborough’s spiritual, civic and community life.

In the lead up to this event, we would like to hear from members of the community who, like the Queen, were born in 1926 or even share the same birthday. We would also like to stage a small exhibition of photographs from 1926 and other memories of Marlborough from that decade. It’ll also be a chance to reflect on how our town has changed over those 90 years – a then and now.

Following the service, the Town Mayor will invite the congregation to the Town Hall for refreshments and a chance to wish Her Majesty the Queen a very happy birthday.

Our outgoing Town Mayor said: “This is a unique opportunity to look back at a special snapshot in time and reflect on how our town and its communities have changed in the 90 years since the Queen was born. We are hoping that as many as possible will share their memories with us from 1926 and the intervening decades and that others can show us just how good it is to be in Marlborough today. Everyone is warmly invited to the service and then to come along to the Town Hall afterwards.”

The Service will be held at St Mary’s Church, Marlborough at 10am on Sunday, 12th June 2016. All those in the congregation are invited back to the Town Hall for some royal refreshments!
