The Archbishop of Canterbury has shared that Queen Elizabeth II had “no fear of death,” and was completely committed to Christianity and the Christian view of public service and selflessness.

The Archbishop delivered a blessing at the memorial service for the late Queen, which was held at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday 9 September, just one day after Her Majesty passed away.

Following his blessing, the first rendition of ‘God Save the King’ was sung, honouring the newly appointed King Charles. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he described his final encounter with the Queen, who was the Supreme Head of the Church of England, which took place on June 21.

The Archbishop said: “I came away thinking there is someone who has no fear of death, has hope in the future, knows the rock on which she stands and that gives her the strength, as it gives His Majesty the strength, to be that sense of permanence and of continuity. “You felt that history was in front of you, but it was history with those piercingly blue eyes twinkling, that extraordinary smile and the relishing of a quick dry comment.” Following the late Queen’s passing, the nation has entered a period of national mourning, which is expected to last for seventeen days.
