A SERVICE of thanksgiving will be held this evening for the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at St Mary’s Parish Church in Haddington.

It is hoped that the service will provide an opportunity for those who live and work in East Lothian to join together and give thanks to the Queen for her life and service to the nation.

The service will begin at 6pm and members of the public are welcome to attend.

Those wishing to attend have been warned that there is limited parking available at St Mary’s Church and that appropriate planning should be considered.
