Sir Your Majesty,

I have the honour, Sir, ‘Your Majesty’ to be your humble and obedient servant.

It is with profound sadness that I write upon hearing of the death of our beloved Queen Elizabeth. The Rotary Club of King’s Lynn Priory wish to join in sending the Royal family our most heartfelt sympathy on the death of Her Majesty, we mourn with you in the death of The Queen, a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, a loyal friend, and our Sovereign. 

With Sandringham so close to King’s Lynn we have a close affinity to Her Majesty and the Royal Family, especially as we have been involved directly with the Royal Estate through the Sandringham Flower Show, where we have had a stall over many years, the Easter Egg Trail jointly with East Anglian Air Ambulance, Run Sandringham half marathon and 10k and Park House events. 

Living so close to the Sandringham Estate I know that many of Priory Rotary have seen Her Majesty and other members of the Royal Family on many occasions and feel a close affinity and admiration for the Monarchy. One can only by grateful for Queen Elizabeth’s commitment and duty to us all over the seventy years of her reign and we are humbled by her service. 

God Save the King.

Jonathan Holmes

We also participate in Rotary International projects such as End Polio Now, ShelterBox disaster relief, and Lend with Care which helps to start up sustainable businesses in poor countries. We meet regularly at King’s Lynn Golf Club, usually for a two course meal or buffet, where we plan our events or listen to speakers on a wide variety of topics.

King’s Lynn’s Priory Rotary club are pleased to be supporting this year’s trip to Pleasurewood Hills, organised by the West Norfolk Community Shop on the Fairstead. The Community shop, run by Emma Brock, does a tremendous job helping the local community, and one of the highlights is an annual coach trip for local children and their families. 

This year, two coaches with around 50 children and 30 adults are setting off for a day out at Pleasurewood Hills in Great Yarmouth. The trip has been subsidised by a generous donation from King’s Lynn Priory Rotary Club, from the proceeds of their Swimarathon back in March, with additional funding accessed from the Rotary partnership with national charity KidsOut.

Thanking the Rotary, Emma said ”the kids have been eagerly looking forward to this day out, at a time when the cost of living is rising and times can be hard. Priory Rotary’s contribution has made a significant difference, enabling the trip to go ahead”.
