The King is Head of State of the United Kingdom. He appoints the Prime Minister and summons Parliament. But he is also an important symbol of British sovereignty. His face appears on coins and banknotes. Oaths of allegiance are made to him, and he appears as a representative of the UK in our international relations.

We pray for The King as he fulfils this important role in national and international affairs, that he may be an example of the wisdom, justice, and care that we all seek in our lives.
