County Services of Thanksgiving and Commemoration
From time to time, County Services of Thanksgiving are held to commemorate special events and occasions.
Such services may be held to celebrate an event of national importance or special anniversaries relating to Royal Family. Services may also be held to mark personal milestones such as wedding anniversaries or to commemorate the life of a prominent person.
County Services are often hosted at the Minster Church Reading – the county town of Berkshire - although from time to time services have been held in other towns. The Services seek to be inclusive of many parts of the community from across the County and importantly are multi faith services involving diverse faith groups from across Berkshire.
The Lieutenancy usually works with churches and volunteers to plan and organise these services.
