Dear Friends and Colleagues
I am delighted to attach a video of the Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and for the volunteers of Bedfordshire which was held at St Mary’s Church, Luton on Sunday 22nd May. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh worshipped in St Mary’s as a young married couple when they stayed at Luton Hoo.
I hope that you will enjoy watching this beautiful occasion which demonstrates the unity, vibrant diversity and true compassion of the people of our amazing county and celebrates the tremendous contribution and service of HM The Queen for 70 years.
I am so grateful to Phil Fothergill DL and his team for once again producing an historic video, and to Lisa Hutchinson for masterminding the organisation of this joyful service.
Wishing you many happy celebrations over the Jubilee weekend and I look forward to seeing you as I travel around Bedfordshire to join in your revels!

Kind regards
Helen Nellis
