A service of thanksgiving celebrating the life and service of Prince Philip will be held at the Town Church on what would have been the Royal's 100th birthday.
The service will be delivered by the Dean of Jersey on Thursday 10 June.
It is hoped that the date of the event, which would have marked the Duke of Edinburgh’s 100th birthday, will coincide with the easing of covid restrictions, enabling a larger number of islanders to take part in the service.
The service will also be live-streamed via social media to ensure as many islanders as possible can watch the 30-minute event.
The Duke of Edinburgh passed away on Friday aged 99. His funeral will take place this Saturday (17 April) at 15:00 in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor.
The funeral service will begin with a National Minute’s Silence, which local public and Government buildings, if open, will be requested to observe, while parishes and shops will also be encouraged to join in.
The silence will be preceded by a short bidding by the Dean of Jersey, the Very Reverend Mike Keirle.
It will be started by a single round of cannon fire from the ramparts of Fort Regent, and the end will conclude with a second round from the same location.
A flag pole has also been erected in the Royal Square and will remain at half-mast until the day after the funeral.
