Yesterday saw the Consecration of the New West Minster at Thorney Island.
The culmination of King Edward’s long held dream of building a new church to the west of the City of London.
Everybody who was everybody in the country was there to celebrate this magnificent new church and the mood of the congregation was one of unbridled joy.
Before the service could begin the Palace released this SENSATIONAL STATEMENT:
‘It is with great regret that we announce that King Edward the Confessor is gravely ill and is unable to attend the ceremony.’
The mood in the church turned somber with many believing that the King’s days were numbered.
Prayers were said for the King.
In the coming days, The Saxon Times will bring you all the breaking news.
